List

The List layout shows every task as a row. It's the densest way to see your work, and the fastest to move through from the keyboard.

#Grouping and sorting

  • Display → Grouping groups rows by Status, Priority, Type, Assignee, Project or Label. Click a group's heading to fold it; Collapse all / Expand all in the toolbar does every group.
  • Display → Ordering sorts the rows, or leave it on Manual and drag rows into the order you want.
  • Drag a row into another group to change that field — into "In Progress" to start it, into someone's group to assign it to them.
  • Display → Empty groups shows, collapses or hides groups with no tasks.

#Columns

ID and Title come first, then one column per property: priority, assignee, project, labels, type, dates, progress and relations.

  • Drag a column's header to move it, or its edge to resize it.
  • Click a header to sort by it: once ascending, again descending, a third time back to the view's own order.
  • Display → Display properties chooses which columns show.

Every cell is editable in place: click a chip to change it.

#Density

Display → Density sets how the list fits, for you in this workspace:

  • Comfortable and Compact fit the list to the pane, hiding columns that don't fit.
  • Spreadsheet keeps every column at its own width and scrolls sideways.

Views saved with the old Table layout open as a List.

#Sub-tasks

Display → Sub-issues shows sub-tasks Nested under their parent (with a toggle to fold them), Flat as rows of their own, or Hidden.

#Selecting and the keyboard

  • j / k or the arrows move between rows; g g and ShiftG jump to the first and last.
  • Enter opens a task; Alt/Option+Enter opens it to the side.
  • x selects a row; v starts a range you extend with j / k; ⌘/CtrlA selects everything. A checkbox also appears when you hover a row.
  • The u shortcuts then change every selected task. . opens the right-click menu.

The + at the end of a group adds a task right there.
