Is there any way to have completely mouseless data entry with Toodledo?

I've found some of the shortcuts, but it'd be nice to be able to enter the data for a task and then just hit a shortcut key to save it without having to mouse to a button. I can do this with some of the fields, but not with the Notes field. It'd also be nice to do this form the Notebook... maybe something like Alt-Enter or Ctrl-Enter like other apps use?

Also, it'd be nice to be able to scroll thru lists with the arrow keys. Is that possible?

And when you're in a new task that you don't want to save be able to hit the ESC key to get out without having to mouse over to the cancel text.

Thx,

Cash

You can do much from the keyboard. The tab key will move you to the next field. Shift+tab moves you back. Depending on your web browser, the arrow keys or simply typing will select values from a drop down menu. The esc key doesn't work yet, but we are looking into that.

I agree that it would be nice to have a shortcut to open the notes field. Also it would be great to j/k through tasks.
