Google Tasks And Keep Shortcuts

Google Keep, the notes app from Google, gives Apple Notes and Evernote a run for their money. In fact, Google Keep offers many features beyond basic note-taking functions. For example, you can add images, and voice recordings, create lists, and collaborate with others in Google Keep. You can even archive or pin notes and add labels to them.

Similarly, the task management service Google Tasks offers the ability to create and manage tasks right from Gmail. You can create lists, and subtasks, set due dates, and synchronize with Google Calendar.

All of these Google Keep features and Google Tasks capabilities are great. However, they would be enhanced if one could perform them using keyboard shortcuts. Thankfully, Google Keep and Google Tasks offer a bunch of keyboard shortcuts as listed in this cheat sheet.
