About Trello and its shortcuts

Trello is a board of cards, and its keyboard acts on whichever card the pointer is over, which is unusual and takes a moment to get used to. Once it clicks, labelling, assigning, due dates and archiving all happen without opening a single card.

Because many commands depend on hovering rather than selecting, they do nothing if the pointer is elsewhere. Trello is a web application, and power-ups can add their own behaviour.
