TL;DR: Taskade ships with desktop-wide keyboard shortcuts, Quick Add to capture tasks anywhere, show/hide the app, and global search. All shortcuts are remappable in Settings. Quick Add works from any app on your desktop. See Keyboard Shortcuts for the full in-editor list.
Here is the remapping flow in the Desktop app.
Overview
The Taskade Desktop app lets you customize keyboard shortcuts for your own workflow. Use the Settings panel to change all bindings or to remap a few common actions. Custom shortcuts apply only to the Desktop app. They do not change web browser shortcuts. Power users who bring muscle memory from other editors get the same key bindings across their tools.
Remapping a shortcut in Settings looks like this. Click a row, press the keys you want, and Save:
┌────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ⌨️ Keyboard Shortcuts [ Reset ] │
├───────────────────────┬────────────────────┤
│ Quick Add │ Press new keys │
│ Show / Hide App │ Not set │
│ Global Search │ Not set │
└───────────────────────┴────────────────────┘
