Welcome to Tasquera. Let’s get you organized with the core workflows in three minutes.

1. Quick Task Capture & Natural Language

  1. Press / anywhere in the app (or click the quick-entry input at the top).
  2. Type your task title with optional natural language shortcuts:

    • Team sync next monday p2
    • Review pull requests in 3 days !high
  3. Press Enter to immediately save.

2. Rich Task Details & Subtasks

Click any task (or select it and press e / Enter) to open the task details drawer:

  • Due Date & Reminders: Set a due date and schedule a time-of-day alert (default 09:00).
  • Recurrence: Set the task to repeat Daily, Weekdays (Mon–Fri), Weekly (with custom day selection), Monthly, or Yearly. When completed, the next occurrence automatically spawns with subtasks reset.
  • Priority: Mark tasks as Urgent (terra), High (amber), Medium (pine), Low (slateblue), or None.
  • Notes: Add multi-line formatted markdown notes and context.
  • Checklist Subtasks: Break larger tasks into smaller steps with an active progress bar. Drag to reorder, or click the promote icon to turn any subtask into an independent task.
  • Links: Attach reference URLs and documents.

3. Switching Views Instantly

Jump between your workspaces using single-key shortcuts:

  • Inbox (1): Unsorted capture area for raw tasks and fleeting thoughts.
  • Today (2): Focus on tasks scheduled for today plus overdue items.
  • Upcoming (3): Chronologically grouped agenda for the days and weeks ahead.
  • Calendar: Month grid and week agenda view with direct date scheduling.

4. Keyboard Navigation & Batch Actions

  • Vim / Arrow Navigation: Use j / ↓ and k / ↑ to move focus through tasks.
  • Quick Check: Press x to check/uncheck the focused task (with optional gentle completion audio chime).
  • Edit / Delete: Press e to edit details or # / Delete to remove.
  • Multi-Select Batch Actions: Hold Shift and click tasks to select multiple items. Use the Batch Action Bar to complete, reschedule, move between lists, or delete all selected items simultaneously.
