Which part of the project does this feature apply to?
Frontend
What would you like?
Add Trello-style keyboard shortcuts for faster card and filter management on boards. Proposal:
Card under the cursor:
- D — open the due date editor (project cards, where due date is available)
- Space — join / leave the card (toggle self-assignment)
Board-level:
- Q — toggle the "cards assigned to me" filter
- X — clear all filters (members, labels and search)
Why is this needed?
These mirror the familiar Trello shortcuts (trello.com/shortcuts), lowering the entry barrier for users migrating from Trello.

I have a working implementation ready to submit as a PR — happy to adjust the key bindings or behavior based on maintainers' feedback
