TodoCity has two kinds of keys. Some shortcuts work anywhere on your Mac, and others work in the task list. To see them all, press <kbd>?</kbd> in TodoCity and the **Keyboard shortcuts** sheet opens.

![The Keyboard shortcuts sheet: Anywhere on your Mac at the top, then the keys in TodoCity, each with its key](https://todocity.app/docs/img/keyboard-shortcuts.webp "Press ? to open the Keyboard shortcuts sheet.")

## Anywhere on your Mac

| Shortcut | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| <kbd>⌘C</kbd> <kbd>⌘C</kbd> | Capture what you just copied. Copy as usual, then press <kbd>⌘C</kbd> again |
| <kbd>⇧⌘S</kbd> | Capture selected text |
| <kbd>⇧⌘Space</kbd> | Quick add, so you can type a task from anywhere |
| <kbd>⇧⌘H</kbd> | Show or hide TodoCity, even over full-screen apps |

You can change these in **Settings → Capture & shortcuts**, or right in the sheet. Click **Change shortcut** and press the new keys, or click **Clear** to turn one off. **Restore defaults** puts them all back.

## In the task list

| Key | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| <kbd>X</kbd> or <kbd>Space</kbd> | Complete |
| <kbd>E</kbd> or <kbd>Return</kbd> | Edit title |
| <kbd>D</kbd> | Date, time and repeat |
| <kbd>T</kbd> | Today |
| <kbd>M</kbd> | Tomorrow |
| <kbd>W</kbd> | Next week |
| <kbd>O</kbd> | Open where it came from |
| <kbd>S</kbd> | Snooze |
| <kbd>N</kbd> | Description |
| <kbd>C</kbd> | Sub-tasks (checklist) |
| <kbd>P</kbd> | Move to a project |
| <kbd>A</kbd> | Add a task |
| <kbd>F</kbd> | Today ↔ Inbox |
| <kbd>V</kbd> | Today as a list or in hours |
| <kbd>J</kbd> or <kbd>↓</kbd> | Next task |
| <kbd>K</kbd> or <kbd>↑</kbd> | Previous task |

## Pick your own keys

You can change any of the letter keys in the table above:

1. **Press <kbd>?</kbd>** to open **Keyboard shortcuts**.
2. **Click the key** next to an action.
3. **Press the new key.** It can be a letter, a digit, or one of `, . ; ' [ ] - =`. If you change your mind, press <kbd>Esc</kbd> to keep the old one.

If you pick a key that's already taken, the two actions swap keys, so each key still does just one thing. **Use the usual keys** puts everything back. <kbd>Space</kbd>, <kbd>Return</kbd> and the arrow keys always work as well.
