Simple keyboard shortcut to add task and frames
complete
Nick Young
Pressing 'c' allows for quick adding of an event to the calendar. Could we have a similarly simple shortcut to add a task?
At the moment there are always a couple more key presses or clicks required to get to add a task than to add an event (e.g. 'c' followed by clicking to change the event to a task; or using the command line and then pressing down/clicking before pressing enter).

The recent updated added "NT" as a hotkey to add a task.

+1 to this. I support the idea of having a separate shortcut to add a task onto the calendar, or the ideas below to use the existing "C" for a new event with a modifier. This will then prevent the multiple steps of creating an event and changing it to a task, or adding a task and then dragging onto the Calendar.

Add hotkeys to change default calendar event creation

Right now if you create a slot on the calendar, it will default to creating an event.
It would be convenient if we could change it to something else based on modifier keys we hold. For example:
- Cmd + create will create a task
- Alt + create will create a frame

Hotkey to Create Task on Command Prompt

When you press Control + K on windows. Will show an window that you can create task and calendar, if you press C key you will create a event using nlp, but don't have an hotkey like T key for create an task on that window. I want this.

As an additional motivation for this "quick win"-feature:
Currently, there is is actually is no way at all to quickly add a task to the inbox (e.g. when your sidebar is grouped by priority)
- there is no global '+'-button to add a new task to the inbox
- when doing it via 'c'->Task: The task gets planned (I cannot see the workflow where this would be an expected/desired behavior)

Christoph: You can add tasks with the command bar and assign a task list with > but other hotkeys would be nice.

Commenting to bump this up the list - Luke Barnard this is what we discussed in discord.

I think adding something like a ctrl+click on the calendar view to make a task would also speed things up.
