Use this interactive demo to learn how to set up the Quickswitch feature in your ClickUp workspace.

‍

Quickswitch in ClickUp allows you to quickly navigate to different tasks, views, or locations within your Workspace using a simple keyboard shortcut. Here’s how you can set up and use Quickswitch in ClickUp:

Hotkeys are disabled by default. To use hotkeys they must be enabled in your settings. In the upper-right corner, click your account avatar.
Select 'Settings'.
Scroll down to the 'Preferences' section.
Enable the 'Hotkeys' on and use it to quickly navigate around your Workspace.
Click 'Save changes'.
Go back to your Workspace and start using hotkeys. Press the 'r' letter on your keyboard to create a reminder. The modal automatically appears on your dashboard without using your mouse.
Press the 'p' letter to open Notepad. By using Quickswitch, you can significantly speed up your workflow in ClickUp, making it easier to jump between tasks and views without having to navigate through multiple menus.

📌 Why this matters

Setting up Quickswitch transforms your project management from a click-heavy experience into a streamlined workflow where keyboard shortcuts replace repetitive mouse movements. Beyond the obvious speed benefits, this creates a state of uninterrupted focus that's crucial for deep work.

When you can instantly jump between tasks, create reminders, or open notes without breaking your mental flow, you maintain the cognitive momentum that's often lost while hunting through menus. This seamless navigation becomes especially valuable during complex project coordination when switching contexts frequently would otherwise fragment your attention.
