Todoist Shortcuts (GMail / vim inspired)
Description from store

This extension adds a bunch of keybindings for Todoist. In particular, it adds a cursor in the task view which can be moved via the arrow keys or j / k / h / l (vim style keys). Many of the keybindings are inspired by gmail's keyboard shortcuts, so those that are familiar with those will find it very easy to get used to it.

Currently it provides keybindings for most non-premium features you might want to use, including: task completion, archival, deletion, setting priority, setting project, rescheduling, changing ordering, changing indent levels, and more.

I used to love this extension so much. But, sadly, it has become so neglected that with every passing Todoist release, more and more bugs are introduced, and it has fallen so out of sync with Todoist changes that it is now so broken it is no longer usable. Two stars only because my former love and appreciation for this extension and the use I got out of it makes 1 star feel harsh, even now as I disable it entirely...

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.

Love this. It's become a killer feature of Todoist for me. Thank you!

Good work. Every few weeks I found myself wondering -- why did Todoist add various keyboard shortcuts, but didn't add a shortcut for the single most important thing -- select a task and complete it? This question remains unanswered, but I don't have to think about it any longer. Thanks for the extension!

Single handedly the best extension I have found so far. todoist should just pay for it and incorporate it in the general release.

This is the highest value extension I use. Michael Sloan, the developer, is just a boss. He is constantly updating & maintaining this extension. Very impressive! 👍👍

This is hands-down outstanding! This makes todoist far more usable. They really ought to role all of this into the main product. Well done!

Exactly what I was looking for! Bounced between Remember the Milk and Todoist for years and always missed the rich set of shortcuts that RTM had compared to Todoist. Now I have just as rich a set of shortcuts, if not better, than RTM. Well executed! Works great!

I just tried it for a few hours and like the enhanced task navigation and editing capabilities. Unfortunately changing task hierarchy doesn't work either in Chrome or Firefox. Other than that, great tool!

Nicely done!! Very clean, simple, and most importantly -- lets me move tasks around via keyboard arrow keys + shift / ctrl etc. so I don't have to click to highlight tasks, then use keyboard shortcuts. Thanks!

I use Todoist several times an hour most days from my desktop or laptop. When I interact with a site this frequently, I really want the ability to fluently navigate it from my keyboard, and to absorb it into my realm of other frequently-used sites that I glide back and forth between during any session. This extension affords me that kind of very convenient navigation. Huge thanks to the developers!

This is fantastic. I've gone back and forth on using Todoist and this extension finally makes it worth the switch.
