Seriously, you nailed it. Thanks a lot for creating this. Todoist worked on some updates recently and some shortcuts are not working anymore (move tasks upwards or downwards, change a date then escape to close the popup). My favourite of all is the simple D to tick off tasks :-).

Makes a HUGE difference in productivity. It’s always annoying to not be able to use the keyboard, and while Todoist has made some improvements with their shortcuts, this makes it NOTABLY better. Thanks so much for all the work you put into this, for continuing to update it, and for publishing it for everyone. You’re the man :).

Bardzo przydatne (tylko trzeba przeczytać instrukcję obsługi na githubie... na początku ją przeoczyłem i trochę się męczyłem z rozgryzaniem wtyczki). Polecam wszystkim, którzy lubią pracować z Todoist i obiema rękami na klawiaturze.
