Looking to speed up your workflow? Get to know our shortcuts and you’ll be a Superlist power user in no time.
​
To get started with shortcuts try right clicking to open the context menu, hover over an item to trigger our tooltips, or click on the top left mac menu option.
​
Pro tip: some actions don't even need a shortcut. For example, to add a due date simply type it, like "today" or "next Thursday" (more on this here). Similarly, you can use the @ sign to assign a person, or the # to add a label to a task.
