Quick Settings & More Actions

The Quick Settings Panel allows to change a card’s main properties from various places. It can be controlled exclusively by the keyboard, allowing mouse-free interactions.

How to open the Quick Settings

The Quick Settings Panel can be summoned in various ways:

1. Via clicking the Effort Icon on the Mini Card or an opened Card
2. Via a slash command while editing a card’s content. It’s the first slash command, so activating can be done by hitting / followed by Enter.
3. On an opened Card you can use any of the property shortcuts (p, e, o, m, ,) to invoke the Quick Settings panel already opened with the respective sections.

How to operate the Quick Settings

The following properties can be changed:

• Deck
• Owner
• Runs
• Milestones
• Priority
• Effort

Note that a decks’s project has an impact on which owners, Runs or Milestones are available.

While mouse operations work as expected, the overlay is meant to be operated by the keyboard. You can use the up and down arrow keys to select amongst the options for the current property. Use the left and right arrow keys for switching between properties. You can filter the shown options if you start typing.

When navigating by Keyboard changes are not stored immediately but only once the overlay is closed by hitting Enter. Pending property changes are marked with a dot next their icon. To abort, you can hit Esc, or click outside of the overlay.

The More Options Menu

Where the Quick Settings panel changes a card’s properties, the … (More Options) button on every opened card collects the card-level actions that don’t have their own dedicated button. Which entries you see depends on the card and your permissions, but the menu can include:

• Copy Card Content — copies the card’s content as Markdown to your clipboard, ready to paste elsewhere.
• Convert List Items to Sub Cards — turn the items of a checklist into proper Sub Cards (see Text Editor → Checklists).
• Bookmark / Unbookmark Card (shortcut .) — add or remove the card from your bookmarks.
• Watch / Unwatch Card — start or stop receiving notifications for updates to the card.
• Turn into Doc Card / Turn into Task Card — switch the card’s type (see Doc Cards).
• Unstart this Card — return a started card to the unstarted state (available with real-time time tracking).
• Archive / Unarchive Card (shortcut R), Delete Card (shortcut Backspace), and Restore Card for deleted cards.
