Eight things to try in Tasktab
These are the things people find last in Tasktab. Each one takes a few seconds to try.
Close the tabs, keep the task
Click the eye on a task to close its tabs. Click it again, and they all come back together.
New tabs stay with their task
When one of a task's tabs opens a new tab, the new tab joins that task. You don't have to add it.
Add the tab you're on
Press the plus next to a column. Tasktab offers the tab you're on, so it joins the new task in one click.
Type a size, a label or a repeat
End a task's title with 2h, #work or every Monday. Tasktab turns it into a size, a label or a repeat.
Split a task into subtasks
Right-click a task and choose Add a subtask. Each subtask gets its own checkbox.
Take your list with you
Sign in from the menu at the top of the panel. Then open your list on your phone or on another computer.
Do anything from the keyboard
Press Ctrl+K (⌘+K on a Mac) to open the command menu. It lists everything you can do to the task you're on, and you type a few letters to find one.
Focus on one task
Press Alt+Shift+F. Every task except the one you're on folds and fades in the panel, and their groups collapse in Chrome's tab strip. Press Esc to bring them back.
More questions
How do I move between tasks without opening the panel?
Press Alt+Shift+Down to go to the next task's tabs, and Alt+Shift+Up to go to the previous one. You can also give each of your first nine tasks a shortcut of its own at chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
Can I turn one of my Chrome tab groups into a task?
Yes. Go to a tab in the group and press the plus next to a column. Tasktab offers the whole group as well as the tab you're on. Your groups never become tasks on their own.
Can I give a tab a shorter name?
Yes. Right-click the tab in the panel and choose Rename. Chrome doesn't let extensions change a tab's title, so the new name shows in Tasktab only.
How do I find a task?
Press / or click Search tasks at the top of the panel. Search finds a task by its title, by its tabs' titles and addresses, and by its subtasks.
Can I move a task to another column?
Yes. Drag it there, or right-click it and choose the column. You can drag tasks up and down to put them in order, too.
Can I add my own columns?
Yes. Choose Columns from the menu at the top of the panel to add, rename or remove columns. Removing a column also removes the tasks in it.
Can I have more than one list?
Yes, once you sign in. Click the name at the top of the panel and choose New list. Each list has its own tasks and columns, and you switch between them from the same menu.
How do I get back a task I deleted?
Press Ctrl+Z (⌘+Z on a Mac) straight away to undo. To get back an older one, choose Deleted tasks from the menu at the top of the panel, then click Restore.
Press ? in the panel to see every keyboard shortcut.
