Filter Keyboard Shortcuts

Linear as Role Model:
I’d love for filters to be more accessible via keyboard shortcuts, similar to how Linear handles it:

  • Press f to open filters with focus on the search field.

  • Type the property to filter for (e.g., status, tag, due date) or type the value directly.

  • Clear filters easily with Shift + Option + F.

Status Quo in Akiflow:
Currently, pressing Shift + F opens the search bar for projects. Filtering by tags via keyboard is cumbersome: you must Shift + Tab three times, then Enter to search for a tag. Most importantly, there’s no shortcut to reset filters.

Why This Matters:
I often triage and tag todos in my inbox (from Linear, Slack, Email, etc.) and then batch similar tasks, e.g., admin tasks or tasks under 15 minutes. Right now, I have to manually select tasks from a larger list, which slows down productivity. Keyboard-accessible filters and a reset shortcut would make task management far more efficient.
