5. Tasks in Gmail
| Shortcuts for Gmail Tasks seem to be a bit buggy. shift+t adds message to the task list, but the focus never makes it to the task window. There seems to be no way to re-gain focus after. Page refresh with f5 and g, then k does the trick but is not pretty. | |

| shift+t | Add message(s) to tasks. |

| shift+enter | Edit task details, including due date or notes. |
| shift+esc | Shift the cursor from tasks to Gmail, but only one-way. |
| esc | Closes Task Window if focus is on it (see limitations above). |
