Use this interactive demo to learn how to enable and use Quickswitch hotkeys in ClickUp.

Quick summary

ClickUp Quickswitch lets you navigate your workspace using keyboard hotkeys instead of clicking through menus. Once enabled in Settings, hotkeys like 'r' for reminders and 'p' for Notepad let you instantly access key features without touching your mouse.


Steps

  1. In the upper-right corner of your ClickUp workspace, click your account avatar to open account options — note that hotkeys are disabled by default.
  2. Select 'Settings' from the dropdown menu.
  3. Scroll down to the 'Preferences' section within your settings.
  4. Enable 'Hotkeys' to activate keyboard shortcuts for faster workspace navigation.
  5. Click 'Save changes' to apply your new hotkey preferences.
  6. Return to your workspace and press the 'r' key on your keyboard to instantly create a reminder — the modal appears automatically without using your mouse.
  7. Press the 'p' key to open Notepad and use Quickswitch to jump between tasks and views without navigating through multiple menus.

📌 Why this matters

ClickUp Quickswitch hotkeys eliminate the need to manually navigate menus, letting users jump between tasks, views, and features like reminders and Notepad with a single keypress. This keyboard-first workflow dramatically reduces time spent on navigation, making it a critical productivity feature for power users managing complex projects. Enabling Quickswitch in ClickUp settings is a one-time setup that delivers lasting efficiency gains across every session. Teams that rely on ClickUp for project management can significantly accelerate daily workflows by mastering these built-in keyboard shortcuts.
