Better Quick Add panel (`a` shortcut)
complete
Fabio Bracht
I love the Quick Add panel that I can pull up with the
a
shortcut. It's especially useful because it allows me to add a task from anywhere in the interface, including during rituals or when focused on a different task. However, it currently only allows me to input the name of the task, planned time, and channel.
My request here is for a more complete interface for quick-adding tasks, including metadata such as:
- notes
- start/due dates
- subtasks
- rough ideal time (same option as in recurring tasks)
- Goal to align with
Thanks!

The cmd+enter shortcut is great! Exactly what I needed to quickly access notes.

You can add most properties during task creation, and for those you cannot, you can open the task while creating it so this is much faster. Here's what I mean: https://help.sunsama.com/docs/miscellaneous-pro-tips#creating-rich-new-tasks-with-keyboard-shortcuts-alone
For request to add notes/start time during task creation, refer to these threads: https://roadmap.sunsama.com/improvements/p/timebox-or-auto-schedule-task-during-task-creation-with and https://roadmap.sunsama.com/improvements/p/ability-to-add-notes-during-task-creation-in-add-task-modal

Bump on this! I often find myself needing to add more detail when quick-adding a task. But that means quick adding, then opening up the task and entering additional details which really defeats the purpose of the "quick add" shortcut.
