VIM keyboard navigation

Merged #4433 to this task.

I just would remap the existing ones to vim shortcuts, like up/down to k/j, etc

Hi guys, From the sound of it, it could be foreign to users especially those that are not tech-savvy. I will pass your suggestion to the team and let you know if anything.

Merged #4224 to this task.

In addition to the OP's suggestions, I would also like to add the following:

1. o for inserting a new task after the current task and O for adding before
2. i for editing the current task
3. v for selecting tasks
4. A new shortcut for changing status?

Hi @Monish - Thank you for your suggestions. Please see the shortcuts that are available now:

• ↵ to enter a new task after the current selected task
• F2 or ⌥ + ↵ to edit the current selected task name
• / to quick assign the status for the current selected task

I hope the above helps. You can learn more keyboard shortcuts by pressing F1 or check out our whole shortcut cheat sheet here: https://quire.io/guide/keyboard-cheatsheet/

At the moment, we don't have a shortcut for adding 'before' a selected task. I will pass your suggestion to our team and keep you posted if I have an update, thanks!

++++1 is it possible to define one's own shortcuts at the meantime?

Hi Sebastian, out of curiosity, what kind of shortcuts would you like to define on your own? 😜

+1 this

The regular already present shortcuts can still be the default set, but vi-like is being used more and more everywhere because of it's benefits, an option to enable this mapping is a win-win.

A lot of software has this (in a rudimentary way): e.g. gmail, facebook let you navigate using 'j' and 'k'.

even if this doesn't get implemented vim-style, more shortcuts would also be awesome - for example to add tags, to navigate the sidebar etc. essentially it would be awesome to never have to use the mouse when using quire ;)

Hi Sebastian, this is noted, we shall think about this, thank you for your feedback!
