Complete ClickUp keyboard shortcuts reference — 86 shortcuts across 9 categories. Quick reference cheat sheet for Web, Desktop & Mobile.
ClickUp's shortcuts are single letters for the global actions — create a task, jump to Home — and Shift plus a letter for editing the fields of an open task. They work in the browser and desktop apps, but they only fire when keyboard focus is outside a text field, which is the usual reason a key "does nothing". The table is the Windows keymap; macOS uses Cmd for Ctrl.

T creates a task from anywhere, R a reminder and N opens the Notepad. Ctrl + K opens the Command Center, which searches tasks, docs and people and runs commands; it is the one key that replaces most navigation. H, I and D jump to Home, Inbox and Dashboards, and Ctrl + \ hides the sidebar. Ctrl + O opens ClickUp Brain, the AI assistant, from any view.
With a task open, Shift plus a letter opens a field: Shift + S status, Shift + A assignee, Shift + D due date, Shift + P priority, Shift + L tags and Shift + M the comment box. M assigns the task to yourself and Shift + T creates a subtask. In the description, / opens slash commands for headings, tables and embeds, @ mentions a person and @@ mentions another task. Ctrl + Shift + 8 makes a checklist and Ctrl + Shift + C formats inline code.
The Inbox uses mail-style keys: J and K move between notifications, O opens one, Q closes it, Z snoozes and Shift + E clears everything. Shift + 1, Shift + 2 and Shift + 3 toggle the Assigned, Mentions and Unread filters. In a Space, L, B and Shift + K switch to List, Board and Calendar views and - clears active filters.
Keyboard focus is in a text field. Press Esc or click an empty area first; single-letter shortcuts only work outside editors.
Open the task and press Shift + S, then choose the status with the arrow keys and Enter.
Type @@ followed by the task name. A single @ mentions a person and @@@ mentions a Doc.
Press Ctrl + K and search for "keyboard shortcuts", or open Settings › Preferences; the list reflects your current version.
Open your assistant with this page preloaded as the source — great for follow-up questions like "which of these work in other apps?"
