Quick entry window on desktop

Does ClickUp have a quick entry window on desktop? Thinking of switching from todoist which allows you to quickly add content using a systemwide keyboard shortcut. Omnifocus, culturedcode and 2DoApp also have this feature. Surprised I can't find it in ClickUp.

Why is this set on completed? For me the desktop version is just a wrapper of the browser version without andy additional features like Quick Entry.

The problem for me is if ClickUP is not running, it will not show an option to quick add a task. In addition, if ClickUp is running, but minimized, the quick entry doesn't do anything...except it will trigger a new task, but my program does not open.

Rhonda: That's a bug, please report at bugs@clickup.com!

Brendan W so cool. But it would be nice to change the status of the new task as well easliy. For example if i use tab then i can toggle between task name and list. Would be nice to toggle again to navigate with arrow key through the status. <3

Lukas Simon: Hey! Definitely see the need for that 😃
That would be a different request from this one, so I recommend creating a new Canny request on our feature request board, or finding an existing one and upvoting it!

Check out our improved Desktop App! Not only did we release a bunch of new features and squash bugs, but you can also press CMD/CTRL + E to quickly create tasks from anyone on your computer, whether it be in Google Chrome or Zoom!
Additionally, navigate to your Desktop App settings page to change the hotkey yourself!

Brendan W: Can we disable this CMD + E behaviour? On MacOS this is a combination to eject hard drives.

Dominique Pijnenburg: Go to My Settings –> Desktop App –> Shortcuts and you can change or disable it.
Dominique Pijnenburg
Patrik Jansson: Yeah.. I thought so, but disabling Shortcuts doesn't stop ClickUp from popping up when pressing CMD + E. I also tried if restarting the app makes a difference, but it doesn't.

Patrik Jansson
Dominique Pijnenburg: oh.. I actually didn't test disabling it, but changing the shortcut to cmd+opt+T worked. See screenshot below

Patrik Jansson: Thanks! (for future reference, this option can be found here: My settings -> Desktop App.

Desktop app - Add tasks from anywhere
Daniel Contreras
Sometimes you get a great idea of something you need to do but you don't have ClickUp open, it would be amazing if ClickUp had a hotkey that launched a field (sort of like spotlight on mac) where you can add a task or reminder that would get added directly to the inbox or a list.

Brendan W: I am also waiting for this option. It is the only reason I still use TickTick over ClickUP. :-(

Desktop system tray functionality
Максим Гонгальский
I love small smart menu at the bottom of the both web and desktop app. I use to quick add task and track time (screenshot 2).
However, desktop app (I use linux) has an icon in system tray, but it's useless (screenshot 1).
I think it would be great, if that icon had similar functionality (like on screenshot 2). I.e. you push or hover on system tray icon, and some buttons for quick actions appear. Sometimes, you don't need to use the whole desktop application. For instance, if you go to lunch and need to pause your time tracking. In that case you even can have your desktop app minimized and use nice system tray icon instead.
Thank you in advance.

Would love that!! So much easier to unload your brain if you can quick- add thoughts.. keep them in "inbox" for example (like in Todoist) and manage/sort them later...
