Add hotkey for "Add Task (Below/Above)"
planned
Growka John
When I'm in my notes for a task, I want to be able to jump to a new task directly under the task under it.
Instead, I have to manually click the task, collapse it, and press enter. Then, occasionally, I have to re-extend the first task & continue editing if the second task was just a simple task.
This could be done much more efficiently if there was a hotkey for the task "Add Task Below"

Great call — when you're in a flow state inside a task's notes, having to click out, collapse, press Enter, and re-open is a real rhythm-breaker. A dedicated "Add Task Below" hotkey would make keyboard-driven workflows so much smoother.
We've been steadily improving keyboard navigation — in v6.101 we fixed copy shortcut conflicts and updated default tab behavior for smoother navigation. We also addressed Select All keyboard shortcut propagation in v6.80. The groundwork for richer hotkey support is being built.
A hotkey specifically for "Add Task Below" (and "Above") without leaving the current context is exactly the kind of power-user shortcut that would make Taskade feel truly keyboard-native. Your detailed description of the exact workflow friction really helps. We're tracking this — check https://taskade.com/changelog regularly and we hope to have something worth celebrating here soon!

I agree completely.
In general, the operation "create a task below" or above during the day has to be done very many times. each time doing it through the additional menu.
yes, we need hotkeys for this. or some interface tools
