Keyboard shortcuts
G Kanban is keyboard-first. Press ? at any time to open the shortcuts overlay, or Ctrl/Cmd + K to open the command palette and search for an action by name.
mod below means Cmd on macOS and Ctrl on Windows/Linux. Single-key shortcuts (like n or h/j/k/l) are automatically disabled while you’re typing in a text field or a modal is open, so they never interfere with your typing.
