Feature Requests

Hi team, I hope this will be obvious. I've been burned by this SO many times. If you do anything that opens a small menu (pop-up), if you tap the ESC key, it should close that menu. Right now, it closes everything. Steps to reproduce (one example): Open a task view Create a subtask Click the 3 dots next to the subtask. A menu appears as a pop-up Tap the ESC key to close that menu Expected behavior: the menu closes Actual behavior: the entire task view closes and you have to re-open everything. I suspect it's a principle of UX/UI: when you close/exit something via shortcut, it has to exit/close the screen.modal that is the "highest" in the hierarchy, the element that is the "closest" to the eyes of the user. Big thanks for taking a minute to consider it! Kevin

Hi ClickUp Team, I frequently use the tick mark reaction to indicate completed QA tasks in my private chat. Currently, I have to click the reaction button, search for "tick," and select the emoji each time. It would be much more efficient if there were a shortcut or a way to quickly add my most-used reaction (like a tick mark) with a single click or keyboard shortcut. Could you please consider adding this feature to streamline the workflow for users who rely heavily on reactions? Or is there a better workaround that is already available in CU? For context, i've created an automation that will send me a DM with the link & description of the tasks that are ready for QA. I will then go through each of them and upon completion, I manually put a tick mark reaction indicating that i've completed it. Sure the i can see from the link preview itself if the task is completed, but it's not necessarily i that did it. Thank you!

CMD+E works great for creating new tasks from anywhere but I don't have the option to add this task to Personal "Priorities" quickly from the task creation dialog.

Recently, an update changed the function of hitting Enter when typing on tables which makes the cursor advance to the next row in the table. If you want to start a new line or bullet in the same field of a table, you have to press Shift + Enter. This is very inconvenient for live note taking when you need to do it quickly. Can this functionality be added as a user preference that could be toggled on or off?

Without having to manually select the current list each time

For me, the inline task settings functions, which can be used, typiung "/due date" for example are very powerful. This is why I'd love to be able to also assign task settings to subtasks I create, for example by typing "/subtask bring the trash out /due date 18/8". This would be amazing and greatly appreciated:)

It'd be good to have more robust keyboard shortcuts, so it's easier to navigate and get around in the main windows, as well as within tasks and subtasks. For instance: Going straight to comments section from within a task/subtask Going back to main task when in a subtask Tabbing through sections of a task Quick complete task Move to next status, previous status in a task These are just a few, to make it less trackpad/mouse-heavy!

Currently, when I am in List view and select multiple tasks, pressing Tab automatically converts all selected tasks into subtasks of another task. This behaviour is very problematic for my workflow, as it happens unintentionally and can cause significant task hierarchy changes by mistake. Please add an option to disable or change this shortcut, so that pressing Tab while multiple tasks are selected does not automatically indent them as subtasks. This would help prevent accidental hierarchy changes and improve control over task structure. Or add maybe a confirmation.

In a list view, would be really powerful to not have to touch the mouse. Create new row items, indent or outdent them, move across the fields and enter data or select dropdown items all with keyboard.

After entering a valid time in the time log modal, enable this shortcut to quickly save the time log. Currently, I have to use my mouse to hit "Save" or hit tab until I focus on the Save button and then hit space/enter
