Please add keyboard shortcut to rename tasks in Table View

Chris DeFelice

Please make F2 the keyboard shortcut to rename a task in Table View. I can navigate the tasks in Table View using the arrow keys, but there is no way to simply rename a task without having to double click (half the time it just opens the task) or click the pencil. This is tedious when you have to rename a lot of tasks. It would make my life so much easier if I could just press the down arrow, press F2, rename my item, hit enter, press down to the next item and repeat.

Hi everyone! You asked for an easier way to rename tasks in Table View without reaching for your mouse, and now you can! 🎉

Just use the arrow keys to move between cells and press F2 to access in-cell controls like rename, expand, item type, view details, and more!

You'll also find new row-management shortcuts, faster keyboard sorting, and improved screen reader support.

Great idea! 💡

A keyboard shortcut for renaming a task would definitely be a time saver. Thank you, @Chris DeFelice, for sharing this suggestion, and to everyone who upvoted it. I’ve forwarded your feedback to the relevant team. ✅

I was trying to figure this out too, and discovered that simply starting to type in the task title field automatically activates editing mode. No need to press F2 or use any shortcuts!

Interesting, @Anneta Mitsopoulou! It works and seems to be the easiest way to rename items. Thanks so much for sharing! 😊👍🏽
