Keyboard Shortcuts

Overview

Panel Todo integrates with VS Code's keybinding system. Use shortcuts to quickly add todos and manage tasks.

Default Shortcuts

Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+T	Focus Panel Todo input
Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+A	Add selection as todo

Setting Up Custom Shortcuts

1. Open Command Palette (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P)
2. Search "Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts"
3. Search "panelTodo"
4. Click the pencil icon to edit
5. Press your desired key combination

Available Commands

panelTodo.focus	Focus the todo input
panelTodo.addFromSelection	Create todo from selected text
panelTodo.refresh	Refresh the todo list

Selection to Todo

The "Add selection as todo" feature:

1. Select any text in your editor
2. Press Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+A (or your custom shortcut)
3. The selected text becomes a new todo

Great for capturing:

• TODO comments in code
• Error messages to fix
• Notes from documentation

keybindings.json

Add custom keybindings directly:

[
  {
    "key": "cmd+t",
    "command": "panelTodo.focus"
  },
  {
    "key": "cmd+shift+t",
    "command": "panelTodo.addFromSelection"
  }
]

Tips

• Use when clauses for context-specific shortcuts
• Avoid conflicts with existing VS Code shortcuts
• Consider vim-style shortcuts if using vim mode
