Keyboard Shortcuts

Thanks for the comment, Varun! I've created an idea here: https://big.ideas.aha.io/ideas/A-I-8187.

Would love to have a rank feature to the top as a keyboard shortcut.

Hi everyone! I wanted to provide an update here around two important updates that should help here:

1. The new Aha! collaborative text editor provides a wide range of keyboard shortcuts that should help when editing notes and descriptions. You can see the full list here: https://support.aha.io/hc/en-us/articles/360024452532-Text-editor-keyboard-shortcuts 
2. We recently made an update across Aha! that dramatically improves the ability to tab through fields, for example within a feature. It is a subtle change, but you should notice big improvements.

Thanks!

Would like the ability to 'tab' through fields within a feature as well.

Agreed, keyboard shortcuts would be a huge time saver for our teams.  One main ask I get is how to close out of a slide out on the side without having to scroll up to the top to hit the "X".  "Esc" would work perfect in this regard.

This one capability literally will decide if I use Aha as my primary tool (3+ hrs/day) on, or export everything to Excel and do it that way.

PLEAS GIVE US KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS

Can I ask you to update the progress of this task? Keyboard shortcuts are very usable if you need to batch edit many features during creation of a new product or dividing previous one into two (or more).

Look at JIRA's Shortcut menu https://confluence.atlassian.com/agile066/jira-agile-user-s-guide/using-keyboard-shortcuts @Chris Waters

I used JIRA's shortcuts extensively and I miss having that functionality tremendously when using Aha.

Using Aha! today to do planning.

Today, I'm slowed down/annoyed/hindered by the lack of suitable keyboard shortcuts. 
Get the latest version of mce in there.. keep the shortcuts!

I'm dying  here.

One of the single greatest features of JIRA is the Period (.) action menu.  You can hit a period and it pulls up a type-ahead dialog that lets you search for any of the available actions you can take on the highlighted ticket.  Between the up/down (also j/k) navigation and period, you can do just about anything you need.

+1 on this. Definitely need keyboard shortcuts. Reference JIRA, GMail, Workflowy for ideas.

Key tasks that would benefit from shortcuts:

* Quick add for features and ideas

* Navigation (as described in this thread already)

* When a feature is selected, shortcuts to move an item to another release/parking lot, or opening the edit view for the item.

Keyboard shortcuts on pop-up dialogues would be useful (for example, deleting images from a feature, one after the other, triggers prompt after prompt that you have to manually click). Cancel/Yes options would be useful to just press C/Y keys, for example.

Latest version of TinyMCE has many shortcuts available:

PS- I can't edit a post, or I'd have combined this all. Sorry everyone

After a little sleuthing I can see you are using mce, or tinymce.

The latest version has a lot of these shortcuts.. so i suspect you just dropped some older version in the tool. I think you can do better!! You are playing in the big leagues now, a low-feature TinyMCE editor is not worthy of your product. Aha! deserves much better. 

I'm trying to get started with a new project and editing all of the Strategy items.. lack of shortcuts is painful. There are no shortcuts in the editor.. You can get a pretty good editor for an online app for cheap.. I'm not sure what you are using, I assume some very basic (and lacking of any features)  Javascript editor.. Please just upgrade that for starters.

I'd like to be able to at least add bullet points, different heading levels, etc without having to go find my mouse.

Any progress on this? Not being able to simply "Add" a task, initiative, etc reduces the usability. 

Keyboard shortcuts are a vital feature in my life, and will be a major influence on my happiness with this product. Our company is moving from a system that is Jira exclusive to Aha, and not having keyboard shortcuts feels like moving into wet cement.

Shortcuts would be a must have for me. In JIRA I can do almost everything with shortcuts. In aha, that is superior in many ways for planning, I can't do anything with the keyboard and have to go back to the "slow" mouse.

I'm also try to make a Workflow in Alfred using aha API to be able to quickly add an idea (kind of stuff I already do with Trello and helps to stay focused when an idea pops in your head) ;)

Especially the cmd+enter to save a comment (on Mac)

Would love to be able to jump to private comments while viewing an idea.
