Outline List acts like a grid

• ← → ↑ ↓ ("left", "right", "up", "down") keys to change the active row and the active cell
• ↩ ("return") key to edit the active cell of the selected task;
  Click a cell on the active row to edit;
  Double-click on any cell to edit it directly (If double-click the WBS or Sequence No column, the updating panel will show to edit all the properties together).
  Esc key to stop editing the active cell.
  
• ⌘⌥ ("Command" + "Alt") + ↑ or ↓ or ← or → keys to change the active cell AND keep editing the new active cell
• The title and visibility of the task columns are customizable - Double-click a column header, or right-click on a column header

• Copy / Paste task cell - ⌘C ("Command" + "C") to Copy; ⌘V ("Command" + "V") to Paste

  ( These shortcuts are for CELL operations. For the WHOLE TASK, ⇧⌘C is to Copy, and ⇧⌘V is to Paste)

Gantt Chart panel visualizes the tasks in a tree structure

• ⇧ double-click(Shift + Mouse Double-Click) to edit the task name on the chart panel directly

  
• Click a taskbar to select

• Double-click the empty space in a row to select the task on the row

  Skill: After a task is selected, QuickPlan will scroll the Gantt Chart to move the selected taskbar visible automatically. To be efficient when we need to move a task visible, we can simplify choosing the task by clicking the task on the outline list or double-clicking the task row. We don't need to scroll the Gantt Chart horizontally a long distance to move a task visible.

• ⌘ + Double-click ("Command" + "Double Mouse Click" on a task group) to collapse and expand

  Skill: There are some other ways to collapse and expand a task group, such as to use keyboard shortcuts, or to click on the triangle icon near the group taskbar. However, this mouse gesture is more efficient.

• Moreover, we can change the task date on the Gantt chart using the intuitive mouse gestures.

  

• Gesture ⌘ + Mouse Move-up/Move-down and Keyboard Shortcuts ⌘ + ↑/↓ to change task sequence.

  

Updating Panel acts as a traditional property panel

• Double-click a taskbar on Gantt Chart or Double-click the task WBS column on Outline Panel to edit the task in the inspectors.
• The Updating Panel(inspectors) is a suitable place for editing when we focus on one task.

• One good practice for productivity is to focus on one aspect of the whole project. For example, of editing the date of all the tasks together - left hand: "s" / "d" key to switch between tasks; right hand: operate the mouse on updating panel.
