Keyboard shortcuts
On a Mac, press ⌘ wherever this page says Ctrl.
On a board
Point at a card with the mouse, then press a key. These shortcuts don't work while you're typing in a box.
| Key | What it does |
|---|---|
E or Enter | Open the card |
T | Edit the card's title |
L | Choose the card's labels |
M | Choose the card's members |
V | Archive the card, after you confirm |
1 to 9 | Add or remove one of the board's first nine labels, in the order the labels list shows them |
Ctrl + C | Copy the card |
Ctrl + X | Cut the card |
Ctrl + V | Paste the copied or cut card |
Apart from opening a card, these need the Editor role on the board. Project managers can also copy cards.
In the Kanban view, Ctrl + V pastes into the list under the mouse pointer. In the Grid and List views, it pastes into the board's first list.
In an open card
These also don't work while you're typing in a box.
| Key | What it does |
|---|---|
← or → | Go to the previous or next card |
Esc | Close the card |
Ctrl + V | Add what you copied as an attachment (editors only) |
With Ctrl + V, a copied file or picture becomes an attachment, and so does a copied web address. If you copied other text, Planka asks for a file name and saves the text as a file.
