Global hotkeys

In addition to the predefined shortcuts below, you can configure two custom global hotkeys that will also work when Sonto is in the background. You can use these hotkeys to add a new task to your inbox, or to today. Configure these hotkeys in Settings → Tasks.

General

On day or week screens

With selected tasks

Backspace on its own only deletes tasks when you aren’t typing. While you’re editing a task’s name or its notes it deletes a character, as you’d expect.
Moving and reordering works on the inbox, day, week, project, area and tag screens — the ones you arrange yourself. It’s unavailable while you’re editing a task, since Cmd + and Cmd + then belong to the text field. See Reordering tasks.

When editing notes

You can insert checklist items (which you can also check off), and apply basic text formatting. To add a checklist item, just type []. You can also indent them to create nested lists.

Hovering over calendar event

Availability

Keyboard shortcuts are a Mac feature. On iPhone and iPad, the same actions live in a task’s menu and the action bar. If you use VoiceOver, every row also carries move, schedule, complete and delete actions — see Accessibility.
