Todobar is designed for fast access while you work in other apps. The global shortcut lets you open and close the sidebar without switching focus, and the in-app shortcuts keep your hands on the keyboard when you are capturing or managing tasks.Documentation Index

Global shortcuts
Global shortcuts are registered at the operating system level and work from any application, even when Todobar is not in the foreground.| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Alt+T | Toggle the sidebar open or closed |
| Alt+Shift+T | Toggle the sidebar open or closed (fallback) |
Alt+Shift+T is provided as a fallback in case another application on your system has already claimed Alt+T. If Alt+T does not respond, try Alt+Shift+T instead. Only one of the two shortcuts will be active at a time depending on which one your system accepts first.
@tauri-apps/plugin-global-shortcut. This means the shortcut is intercepted at the OS level — you do not need to have Todobar focused or visible for it to work.
In-app shortcuts
These shortcuts work while the Todobar panel is open and focused.| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Esc | Close the sidebar panel |
| Enter (in task input) | Add the task |
| Enter (in list title input) | Create list or confirm rename |
Tips for using shortcuts efficiently
- Use Alt+T to open Todobar, type your task, press Enter to capture it, then press Esc to close the panel — all without touching your mouse.
- When creating or renaming a custom list, pressing Enter confirms the title immediately so you can move straight to adding tasks.
- If you hold Shift and click the trash icon on a task, the deletion is immediate with no confirmation prompt — a useful combination with keyboard-driven workflows where you want to stay in the flow.
