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.
Navigating Between Molecules
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 |
Navigating Between Atoms
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.
