Keyboard Shortcuts

DPlan supports keyboard shortcuts for common actions. All shortcuts work when the Gantt task table has focus and no text input field is active.

Undo & Redo

Shortcut	Action
`Ctrl` + `Z`	Undo last change
`Ctrl` + `Y`	Redo
`Ctrl` + `Shift` + `Z`	Redo (alternative)

Adding & Editing Tasks

Shortcut	Action
`Enter`	Open Task Editor for the selected task; if nothing is selected, adds a new task
`Insert`	Add a new task
`Delete` / `Backspace`	Delete selected task(s)
`Escape`	Clear selection / close modal

Task Structure

Shortcut	Action
`Tab`	Indent selected task (make it a child of the task above)
`Shift` + `Tab`	Outdent selected task (promote up one level)
`↑`	Move selected task up one row
`↓`	Move selected task down one row

Selection

Shortcut	Action
`Ctrl` + `A`	Select all tasks
`Ctrl` + `Click`	Add / remove a task from multi-selection
`Shift` + `Click`	Range select from current selection to clicked row
`Escape`	Clear selection

Copy & Paste

Shortcut	Action
`Ctrl` + `C`	Copy selected task(s) to clipboard
`Ctrl` + `V`	Paste copied tasks — dates shift +7 days, names get "(copy)" suffix, parent/child hierarchy preserved within the group

Copy/Paste can be toggled in Settings → Feature Toggles → Copy / Paste Tasks. Pasted tasks start with 0% progress and "not-started" status regardless of the original.

File

Shortcut	Action
`Ctrl` + `S`	Save project as .dplan file
`Ctrl` + `O`	Open .dplan file

Note Shortcuts are suppressed when a text input, textarea, or dropdown has focus — you can type freely in name or date fields without triggering them.

Tip On macOS, use Cmd in place of Ctrl for Undo, Redo, Select All, Save, and Open.
