Task grid keys

Reference

Task grid keys

The keys that move around the task grid and set a square.

What you need to know

You can fill the whole task grid from the keyboard. Press Tab to go into the grid: the focus goes to the square you used last, or to the first square, and the next Tab leaves the grid. Inside it, the keys below move the focus and open a square's choices. The line above the grid names the same keys in short, after “Choose a square to say where the task sits.”

In a square’s choices

Key
What it does
Tab, Shift+Tab

Enter or Space
Sets the square to the choice with the focus. The choices close, and the focus goes to the next square that is not set.
Esc
Closes the choices and changes nothing. The focus goes back to the square.

Things to know

  • Clearing a square leaves the focus on it, so you can set it again at once.
  • When every square is set, N shows the message “Every square is already set.”
  • On a published or retired version only the keys that move the focus work: the arrows, Home and End, and Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End. The line above the grid names only those.
