Coming from google on the search for keyboard shortcuts and wanted to give some feedback as well.
I'm a 'hardcore' Things / OmniFocus user and just tried GoodTask for the first time. I really like it so far but the thing I am missing are a lot of shortcuts. Things is completely usable without ever using the mouse and that's something that I need from a power tool.
A lot of my workflow is to quickly open Things, hop around, move tasks between lists, quickly create new projects or hop between lists to see what's going on.
What I am missing from GoodTasks specifically:
- Make quick actions usable without the mouse, something like hit CMD+K, get a panel with all quick actions, type the name of one and it auto-selects
- A shortcut to create a new list
- A shortcut to complete a task, I tried all kinds of combinations and the only thing that works is to use Tab to hop to the box, then hit spacebar
- Shortcuts to quickly edit specific elements of a task: Dates, URL, Comments, Priority, Tags. Yes this is doable with quick actions but it'd be nice to have something to specifically jump to one of these fields out of the box (In Things: CMD+SHIFT+M -> Move Task, CMD+S -> Schedule, and so on)
- Able to bind quick actions to keys, similar to favorites. I know I can do this with KeyboardMaestro or Mac keybindings, but having it baked in would be pretty cool
- Quicker way to add new tasks to the current list besides CMD+N. Like @theproto said, maybe just hit enter.
I am also never really sure what currently has focus. Sometimes the arrow keys go up and down, sometimes it selects the previous/next list which is already superseded by CMD+down / CMD+up
Just some initial feedback from someone testing the app for the first time. I really like what it's doing so far and will probably buy it after my trial expired.
tl;dr make the app completely usable without having to use the mouse ever
