What a Mac client is for
The Deck web app already works on a Mac, so a native client has to be faster. The same app runs on Windows and Linux, with Ctrl in place of ⌘.
02
The shortcuts worth learning
Single-key shortcuts work when no text field, menu, or dialog has focus.
Jump anywhere.
⌘K searches boards and cards. 1 to 9 open your first nine boards, and G then T opens Today.
Create without the mouse.
N creates a card. ⌘⇧N opens Quick Capture, and ⌃⌥N opens it from any app while Deckloud runs.
Update a card.
Arrow keys move between cards. E edits the title, D the due date, L labels, U assignees, and S assigns you.
Finish and file.
O marks done or open, A archives, and M opens the card menu with Move / copy.
03
Pair it with the iPhone
Capture on the iPhone, sort and write on the Mac. Both use the same server, and offline edits queue the same way.
