Keyboard shortcuts

The plugin ships with no default hotkeys — Obsidian’s plugin guidelines disallow them. You can assign any of the plugin’s commands to your own hotkey under Settings → Hotkeys.

This page lists what the plugin responds to.

Commands (assignable hotkeys)

All accessible via the command palette. Search for the name to find each.

Command	What it does
Open projects pane	Opens the project list.
Create new project	Opens the new-project modal.
Create new task	Asks which project, then opens the new-task modal.
Create new subtask	Asks for project and parent task, then creates a subtask.
Import notes as tasks	Bulk-converts vault notes into tasks.
Open current file as project	Treats the currently active markdown file as a project.
Undo last action	Undoes the most recent change made through the plugin.
Redo last action	Reapplies the most recent undone change.

Assign hotkeys via Settings → Hotkeys, search the command, click the +, press your key combo.

Tips

If you reach for the mouse most often for Create new task, that’s the one command worth a hotkey. Most other actions are one or two clicks away.
