There are multiple cases when Checkvist users unexpectedly close tasks when they did not intend to.
Quite often this happens with new users who get used to press Space when they want to scroll a page (which is the default behaviour in browser for the Spacebar).
We’re considering to introduce an option to disable Space shortcut to close/re-open tasks, but we struggle with ideas on what to use instead?
Shift+Space is currently used to invalidate tasks, variations like Alt+Space and Cmd+Space may be used to switch keyboard layout or invoke command palette in the operating system.
Do you see this as a problem? Any other ideas on how to solve it?
You’re absolutely right. We’ve done some extra research and it looks like Cmd+Enter/Ctrl+Enter shortcut is a frequent choice. So we’ll add an option to use either Space or Ctrl+Enter for task completion.
Thanks for trying this! We will keep it as an option only and won’t change the default. No worries. We have many users who get used to the old Space shortcut, including ourselves
