Tips & Tricks Tuesday: Using list names to make keyboard shortcuts even faster

Keyboard shortcuts in the web/desktop app are very helpful to perform actions quickly and to navigate around your tasks, lists, etc.

This week, vpanzano shares a tip that takes things to the next level: naming your lists and views thoughtfully to make jumping around even easier!

Just a little tip that makes for a super-fast RTM experience:

I name my most frequently used lists using symbols on the keyboard number pad (e.g. *, /, -, +, .). If you do this, it’s super easy to jump from list to list with just a few keystrokes.

For example, my main list is * and so the RTM keyboard shortcut pattern of g then m then * on the number pad will take me right to my key list. By using the number pad, you don’t need to hit shift or any other key to get right to your list.

I hope that helps someone!
