Managing task statuses in ClickUp currently requires multiple clicks, which can disrupt workflow and slow down productivity. This is especially problematic for high-volume users or workflows with automation-heavy setups.
Proposed Features:
  1. Customisable Shortcuts
    : Allow users to assign specific shortcuts for each status (e.g.,
    Ctrl + 1
    for "To Do,"
    Ctrl + D
    for "Done").
  2. Quick Mark as Done/Closed
    : Provide a default shortcut to mark tasks as "Done" (press once) or "Closed" (press twice).
  3. Cycle Through Statuses
    : Introduce an optional shortcut (e.g.,
    Ctrl + E
    ) to cycle through statuses sequentially for simpler workflows.
Why This is Needed
  • Speed
    : Reduces the time spent clicking dropdowns to update statuses.
  • Precision
    : Prevents accidental automation triggers when cycling through unwanted statuses.
  • Flexibility
    : Enhances workflow efficiency for diverse user needs.
Benefits
  • Streamlined task updates.
  • Adaptability for automation-heavy workflows.
  • Improved speed and user experience.
This feature would save time, enhance precision, and make ClickUp more intuitive for users at all levels.
