Keyboard shortcuts let you take common actions directly from your keyboard.
Purpose
Perform common actions with less effort. Most helpful when you are taking repetitive actions like assigning a channel to all the tasks you just created, snoozing multiple items to the backlog, or starting and stopping timers.
