Keyboard Shortcuts

A reference for FlowDeck keyboard shortcuts, including how to navigate between molecules and atoms and trigger common actions without using the mouse.

Keyboard Shortcuts

FlowDeck supports keyboard navigation throughout its interface, letting you move between projects and tasks and trigger common actions without reaching for your mouse.

When the FlowDeck sidebar is focused, you can use the following keys to move between molecules (projects):

Key Action
↑ / ↓ Move focus up or down through the molecule list
Enter Open the focused molecule
F Toggle the favorite status of the focused molecule

When you have a molecule open and the task list is in focus:

Key Action
↑ / ↓ Move focus up or down through the atom list
Enter Open the focused atom's detail view
Escape Close the atom detail view and return focus to the task list

Quick Actions

Shortcut Action
N Create a new atom in the current molecule
/ Focus the search or filter input
? Open the keyboard shortcut reference overlay

Tips for Efficient Navigation

  • Press / from anywhere in FlowDeck to quickly focus the filter bar and start narrowing down your task list by keyword, tag, or assignee.
  • Use ↑ / ↓ combined with Enter to move through tasks quickly when you are doing a triage review, checking statuses without needing to use the mouse at all.
  • The ? key brings up an in-app shortcut reference overlay if you ever need a quick reminder.
