Commands and recommended hotkeys
Open Obsidian’s command palette to navigate views, change note status, or reopen selected tasks. 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:
- Open Settings → Hotkeys.
- Search for the full Tasks Eye command name.
- Select the plus button and press the recommended combination.
Board controls for completing, moving, and reprioritizing the next task are available on each row; see task controls.
The recommendations are only a starting point. Choose different combinations when they fit your vault or operating system better.
