Task views and keyboard shortcuts

Written by Sven Poppelmann

The Tasks screen is built around four views and a small set of keyboard shortcuts that make working through a long list much faster. This article covers both.

Opening Tasks

From the farm sidebar choose Tasks. A stats badge in the header shows "X overdue · Y tasks" so you know what you're walking into.

The four views

  • Today - tasks assigned to you due today (scoped to the current user)

  • Inbox - every task on the farm

  • Calendar - tasks plotted on a timeline

  • Deadlines - the most imminent due dates highlighted

Switch view from the tab bar.

Creating tasks quickly

  • Add Tasks - record a voice note and [[company/farmwalk|Farmwalk]] turns the spoken instructions into tasks

  • Generate Tasks - use AI to suggest tasks for the current farm and scheme context

Keyboard shortcuts

  • j / k - move down / up the list

  • d - mark the highlighted task as done

  • p - cycle the priority of the highlighted task

  • / - focus the search box

  • c - create a new task

Deep links

URLs of the form ?taskId=...&tab=... open the page on the right tab and auto-open the task detail dialog. Notifications and external systems use this so links land where you expect.

Real-time updates

Changes from your team appear in real time over Pusher. You don't need to refresh after a colleague closes a task or reassigns one to you.

Tips

  • Start each day in Today, then drop into Inbox only when you've cleared it

  • Try voice capture for tasks while you're walking the farm - it saves typing later

  • Learn the j / k / d trio - it's the fastest way to triage a long list
