Due to popular demand, we've added a huge number of keyboard shortcuts and hotkeys to Trog. You should be able to do all of your Trogging without ever touching the mouse. To use the new hotkeys you will have to turn on beta features in Trog. (See
http://www.priacta.com/Support/Trog_FAQ.shtml#TrogBeta for more information on how this works.) If we don't get any major bug reports with this, we'll move it to the stable feature set.
Here is a list of the new hotkeys, where to use them and what they do:
Anywhere in Windows
Win+1 | Go to Trog |
Win+Z | Go to Trog's scratchpad |
In Trog, but not in any control
A | Jump to the appointment list |
T | Jump to the task list |
S | Jump to the search field |
C | Jump to the calendar |
F | Change the filter/list |
Esc | Hide Trog and/or return to your previous application |
In a specific control in Trog
Alt+A | Jump to the appointment list |
Alt+T | Jump to the task list |
Alt+S | Jump to the search field |
Alt+C | Jump to the calendar |
Alt+F | Change the filter/list |
Esc | Jump to Trog, with no control focused. |
In the task list
X | Toggle between complete, and incomplete |
S, Shift+S | Cycle the start date forward or backwards |
D, Shift+D | Cycle the due date forward or backwards |
R, Shift+R | Cycle the reminder date forward or backwards |
! | Enable or disable the reminder |
1 | Cycle the priority |
C | Select categories |
A | Select contacts |
T | Jump to the task title (or "subject") field |
N | Jump to the task notes (or "body") field |
Enter | Open the task in Outlook |
Space | Show Trog's information popout if not already visible |
Ctl+S | Save any changes |
Ctl+Z | Undo all changes |
Up, Down | Move to the previous/next task in the list |
In addition, the following hotkeys were already available, and can be used without enabling beta features:
In the task list or appointment list
Ctl+C | Copy the selected task(s)/appointment(s) |
Ctl+X | Cut the selected task(s)/appointment(s) |
Ctl+V | Paste new task(s)/appointment(s) |
Ctl+A | Select all tasks/appointments |
Delete | Delete the selected task(s)/appointment(s) |
Up, Down | Select the previous/next task/appointment in the list |
If we're missing any major hotkeys here let us know.
Comments
I'd like to see a couple more:
- Cycle ALL dates as a group fwd (should work inside fly-out window as well)
- Pop Out/Select last/prev/next-opened task (works from outside/inside Trog Bar, needed when you open a task in Outlook and you need to return to see it in Trog Bar, or when you edit a task erroneously and need to re-see it; maybe it just works on tasks actually clicked in in the popout, not just tasks that fly out on hover select since many can get selected accidentally that way)
In Trog, but not in any control
Behavior when keystrokes are entered in this order:
Win+Tab - Trog appears, Trog is focused, but nothing else
Esc – The Trog Bar hides and focus returns to the previous window (Assuming that you have autohide enabled.)
Win+Tab - Trog appears, Trog is focused, but nothing else
S – Search is focused
T – The letter ‘T’ is placed in the search field
Esc – Trog is focused again, search is not (notice, that escape didn’t hide Trog, since a control was focused)
T – The task window is focused
S – The start date for the selected task is incremented
Alt+S – Search is focused
Esc – Trog is focused, not search or the task list (notice, that escape didn’t hide Trog, since a control was focused, the NEXT escape will hide it)
Esc – The Trog Bar hides and focus returns to the previous window (Assuming that you have autohide enabled.)
2) For consistency of use, and to avoid confusion for some of us, I'd like to see the Alt+letter hotkeys apply both inside and outside controls, like this:
In Trog, but not in any control

I use Win+Z for some other program http://odierno.com/domercury/
