I’d love to see a keyboard shortcut added to open the Followers panel on a task.
Here’s why this matters for our team’s workflow:
Since adding followers directly via a request form is not currently supported, and appears to have been marked “Not Planned,” our workaround is to use the Assignee field in our request forms to capture users who need to follow a task. Once the task is created, we then manually remove those users as assignees and re-add them as followers.
That’s already an extra step.
What makes it especially inefficient is that opening the Followers panel requires switching to the mouse, navigating to the panel, and clicking through. There’s no keyboard shortcut to access it, which completely breaks keyboard-driven workflows.
For teams managing tasks at volume, these small interruptions add up quickly.
A shortcut such as Shift + Alt + W, or similar, to open the Followers panel would significantly speed up this process and reduce friction for power users who rely heavily on keyboard navigation.
This feels like a relatively low-lift improvement that could have a meaningful impact on efficiency.
Would love to see this considered for the roadmap.
