The Task Tracker has been designed with keyboard navigation in mind, improving accessibility for power users and those with disabilities.
Selecting and Editing Cells
Similar to a spreadsheet, single-clicking a cell selects the cell, while double-clicking a cell enters edit mode. Some things to keep in mind:
- When a cell is selected, you can begin typing to edit the cell directly. Any existing value will be overwritten.
- To open drop-down menus—such as the Status field or Type field—you must double-click the cell. The Task Actions menu opens with a single click.
- When a cell is selected, pasting into the cell will overwrite its contents.
