Modifier Key Conventions
Truetask maps modifier keys to your platform automatically:
| Token in settings | Mac | Windows / Linux |
|---|---|---|
cmd / command | Cmd | Ctrl |
alt / option | Option | Alt |
shift | Shift | Shift |
ctrl | Ctrl | Ctrl |
Note that cmd adapts per-platform (Cmd on Mac, Ctrl elsewhere), while ctrl is always Ctrl regardless of platform. Use cmd for natural cross-platform shortcuts; use ctrl only when you specifically need the Ctrl key on all platforms.
Customizing Shortcuts
To rebind any shortcut:
- Open Profile from the user menu
- Go to Shortcuts
- Click the shortcut you want to change
- Press the new key combination
- It saves automatically
Tips
- Most productive combo for newcomers: Cmd/Ctrl+K to open the palette, type the first few letters of a board, press Enter. Fastest way to navigate.
- Multi-select in List view: Space to select, Shift+↑/↓ to extend selection, then bulk-act via the action bar.
