Quick add with Global Shortcut?

SOLVED: Sorry if I'm missing this somewhere but I've looked for 10 minutes with no luck… Is there a way to have a quick add a task from anywhere on mac? I'm thinking like ctrl-t anywhere, something like that, to quickly add something to the inbox? Thanks

    Hi Paul, sure! You can use the Command Bar to create a task wherever you are on your mac.
    You can customize the shortcut to open it in Settings > Shortcuts.
    Here you can find more info about it here:

    If you don't add a date while creating a task, the task will be pushed to the inbox automatically. I'd suggest you to use special characters to add more info while creating the task. I'm attaching a screenshot where you can see the "Quick add" options.
    Here you can check the command bar Capture feature:

    Please let me know if everything is clear!

      Stefania: Ahhh yes, that's super powerful. For some reason I thought the command bar could only be opened if you had focus on Akiflow… Thanks!
