Task page
Read notes and steps, then edit the task when you need to change it.
Double-click a task or select it and press Enter. A double-click follows the task you first clicked, even when the first click resizes the columns.
At 110 usable columns or wider, click a task or press → to open details beside the board, keeping board focus. Use → and ← to move between board and task views. From the board-focused split, Esc closes the details column, keeping any parked draft. Press Enter from the board for full screen; Esc or click esc close returns. In view mode, ctrl+q quits the whole board rather than closing the page; save or cancel unsaved edits first.
Click the task’s T number to copy it. The page shows its status, notes, steps, project, thread, and dates. Its footer puts #thread before the project, then the created and updated dates. Long text wraps.
The page opens in view mode.
| Action | Key |
|---|---|
| Edit title, or the selected step | ctrl+e |
| Edit notes | ctrl+e, then Tab |
| Move through editable fields | Tab / Shift+Tab, after starting an edit |
| Save the task edit | Shift+Enter |
| Cancel the current field | Esc or ctrl+c |
Clicking Title, Notes, Scope, or Thread does not start an edit from view mode. Start editing first; then click the field you want.
In view mode, Tab selects steps and + step. It does not cycle task fields. Status shortcuts remain available on the task page; use ctrl+e, then Tab to reach Notes.
During task editing, the forward order is Title → Notes → steps → + step → Thread → Scope → Title. Shift+Tab reverses the ring. A field click moves the cursor and retains staged changes.
Scope and thread
Section titled “Scope and thread”Scope is the task’s project or desk. Thread groups related work within a project.
| Field | Change it |
|---|---|
| Scope | Select it while editing, press Enter, choose a destination, then Enter again |
| Thread | Select it, then press Enter or click again to edit its name |
Scope also supports cycling with Space, ←, or →. Archived projects are not offered.
Thread is optional and follows the thread name rules.
Shift+Enter saves the task’s title, notes, scope, thread, and staged changes to existing steps.
| While editing | Enter does this |
|---|---|
| Title | Move to Notes |
| Notes | Insert a line |
| Existing step | Keep the rename in the current edit session |
| New step | Save that step and open another empty row |
New steps save independently. Cancelling the task edit does not remove new steps already saved. Step editing details.
Press Esc to discard changes to the current field. Other staged changes remain until you save or cancel the task edit. Cancelling the task edit also restores removed steps. Save or cancel before selecting a different task.
If another writer deletes the task, saving refuses. If a save fails, use retry or cancel.
Status and steps
Section titled “Status and steps”In task view, status shortcuts act on the open task even when a step is selected. Multi-select and marks retained from the board are ignored and clear when an action runs. ctrl+n sets ready and ctrl+o sets open; ctrl+s starts an open or ready task. Enter toggles the selected step only.
While editing a field, use its edit keys. Save or cancel to return to the task’s status actions.
Scroll with the wheel or scrollbar while editing. Typing or moving the Notes cursor brings it back into view.
Notes markdown
Section titled “Notes markdown”Notes display basic Markdown. Editing shows the original text.
| Write | Display |
|---|---|
**bold** | Bold |
*emphasis* or _emphasis_ | Underlined |
`code` | Dim, with backticks |
# Heading through ###### Heading | Bold and underlined |
- item or * item | List |
| Triple-backtick fenced block | Dim block; inline styling disabled |
Unmatched asterisks and underscores inside words stay literal. Markdown checkboxes such as - [ ] are text; use steps for an interactive checklist.
Peeks use the same formatting, dimmed. Narrow-pane peeks show up to five wrapped lines; open the task for the full notes.
