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.
