About Linear and its shortcuts

Linear is designed for keyboard-first work and barely pretends otherwise: issues are created, assigned, labelled, prioritised and moved between states with single letters, and the command menu reaches everything else. It is the closest thing here to Gmail's approach, applied to issue tracking.

Linear iterates quickly and its command set grows with it. Being a web application, a few combinations belong to the browser, and some commands only apply while an issue is selected.
