  # ✅ Tasks
  All of the following shortcuts apply when the cursor is inside a task. 
  
  **The easiest way to remember most of the Task Context shortcuts** is that the first letter/number of the task context, plus Alt-Shift on Linux/Windows or Ctrl on macOS. We'll run down each of those individually below, but just think of them as the first letter/number.
  
  **Most task-related operations can be achieved **[Using the Keyboard-driven ! Task Commands Menu](/help/task_commands_menu) . 
  
  ### Create a task

  LINUX, MAC & WINDOWS[] <-- Start a line with empty brackets followed by space to create a task :-)

  ```
  LINUX, MAC, & WINDOWSCtrl-Enter MACCmd-Enter
