When I am inside a project, and when I am previewing a specific task detail on the web, I can always hit the “escape” button to hide the details box and see the full list of tasks expanded again. This works great.
However, when I am under “My Tasks”, hitting the “escape” button does nothing and I have to move my cursor to the “X” mark to close the task detail. Is there any reason why it’s created this way or this is a bug? I would really love to quickly dismiss task details under “My Tasks” quickly like it is under “My Projects”.
Hi @Wassim_Taher, this is a great use of shortcuts and the Esc button should work to close task details in My Tasks as well. I was able to test it out this morning, and it was working fine. Can you try again or try on a different browser?
Thanks for your response. I just tried again and it didn’t work. Escape button dismisses the task details pane only when I am previewing from the projects’ list, but not from “My Tasks” list. I am using Google Chrome primarily. I wouldn’t change a browser to fix a feature, nevertheless I just tried on Firefox and it didn’t work as well.
I’m able to click escape and it works just fine. We’d be happy to file a bug report if this is indeed one. To confirm, when you enter this task view (in image) and you click “esc” nothing happens, correct?
I am also having a similar problem. For me the ESC keyboard shortcut only works in a direct Project view. If I am in “My Tasks”, a saved search, or a tag list view it does not work to close the task view on the right. I’m on Chrome if that matters, but tested it on Safari with the same results.
I can confirm that this is still an issue. I’m surprised there’s been no votes on this yet. @Alexis, have you had any feedback from the product team on this seeing that it was raised more than a year ago?
Thank you
