Keyboard Shortcuts
TaskAngel provides shortcut keys to speed up the operation of frequent tasks, or to allow you to use TaskAngel without a mouse. The keys are consistent with Windows standards.
| • | Hold the Alt key down to reveal the shortcut keys for menus and items in TaskAngel windows. |
| • | Some of the menu items have additional shortcut keys, which are shown to the right of the menu item text. |
| • | Ctrl+Insert creates a new task. |
| • | Ctrl+Delete deletes the currently selected tasks. |
| • | In the Task List, the right and left arrow keys open and close a task group, if you move the focus to its parent task. See Groups and Subtasks. |
| • | F6 cycles the keyboard focus between the Task List, the Note Panel and the Filter panel. See Guided Tour. |
| • | Shift+F10 pops up a context menu, like right-clicking the mouse. |
| • | In the Filter Panel, the right and left arrow keys expand and collapse a filter category. |
| • | In the Filter Panel, pressing a letter key takes you to the next item that starts with that letter. |
| • | F4 brings up the Properties window for the current task, where you can edit its individual properties. |
| • | In the Properties window, use Tab to move between the properties in order, and use F4 to open and close the drop-down lists for properties that have them. |
| • | Alt+F4 closes the current window. If this is the main TaskAngel window, it is parked in the system tray if you have selected that option. See Parking in the System Tray. |
| • | F1 shows this user guide. |
Hot Keys
Hot keys can be used to interact with TaskAngel even if you are working in another program.
| • | Ctrl+Alt+T brings the TaskAngel window to the top, even if it is minimized or parked. |
| • | Ctrl+Alt+N creates a new task. |
You can change which hot keys are used, by choosing Hot Keys in the File menu.
