All Tasks Eye actions are available from Obsidian’s command palette. Search for Tasks Eye to find them. Tasks Eye does not assign default hotkeys, avoiding conflicts with Obsidian and other plugins.

To use the recommendations below:

  1. Open Settings → Hotkeys.
  2. Search for the full Tasks Eye command name.
  3. Select the plus button and press the recommended combination.

The recommendations are only a starting point. Choose different combinations when they fit your vault or operating system better.
