Tips
- Focus Indicators: Look for blue focus rings around task cards to know when board navigation shortcuts are active
- Input Fields: Global shortcuts are disabled when typing in text fields to avoid conflicts
- Visual Cues: Some shortcuts display badges or hints in the interface (like the “⌘S” next to search)
- Modifier Keys: Global shortcuts are disabled when holding Ctrl/⌘/Alt unless the shortcut specifically uses those modifiers
