I'm proposing that Docs open like Tasks in that instead of them opening full page instantly, let them open in a Modal or Sidebar OR Fullscreen fashion. This serves two purposes:

1) Most importantly it imparts a more uniform UX across the platform. (Sorely needed in ClickUp as there is a lack of uniformity in how things function across the platform. Doubt the validity of the statement? Look at your smartphone, one of the most important design features are that so many of the navigation fucntions are system wide (And yes, even Apple is at falut wherein some instances things just don't work in one or two apps the way you’d expect them to...and they need to get their stuff in order too..) so many functions are the same. WHich makes nvigating for the user something that becomes muscle memory and intuitive. ClickUp breaks that time and time again.

2) It allows the user to more quickly look through docs without constantly having to go back to look. You can look at the list of docs, as you are hitting esc to close the one you just opened, and be into the next doc faster than had you been thrust into a full page scenario for each doc you want to look at.

ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENT in 3...2...

It would be great and make navigation even faster if much like on Mac OS we could hit the spacebar when hovering over a Doc to have it pop open in the sidebar, and hit it again to close it.

And if so then we should have the same method for opening and closing tasks.

(I used to use Teamwork Project Management, and their task lists had V as a shortcut that operated in a similar manner. You'd hit v to open a task, and either click off the task or hit escape to close it, and it was lightning fast and made for a much more speedy navigation experience than that which ClickUp in its current state offers. (Having come from that platform, I truly feel like I'm in Valet mode at times in ClickUp.)

(NOTE: The simple fact that when opening tasks in sidebar you can not close the task by simply clicking off of it, but instead must either move your cursor all the way up to the top right to hit the X, or use the Esc key...is another case in point of just how needlessly slowed down the UX can be. Let us click off to close. It can be wildly faster for those who do not keep their hands on the keyboard in the proper fashion. (I'd argue those people are already moving more slowly and need all the help they can to speed up their workflows...)

Food for thought.
