Hey I’m new to Asana and I love using the global shortcut to add tasks quickly (ctrl shift +). However I use the combination to insert row in Excel. How can I change the keys to something else?

I would also like to know the answer to this. Any options?
This would prevent me from using asana desktop.
Hi!
where you able to change the Ctrl shift + ??
I am having the same issue in excel.
Thanks

I was also excited initially with the global shortcut, but I’ve found sometimes the popup doesn’t load correctly. So for a different reason, I went looking for an alternate solution.
I now use these two shortcuts in succession (that use just my left hand):
[Windows] + [1] (This opens Asana, which is the first pinned icon on my taskbar)
[Tab] + [Q ] (A native Asana shortcut to quick add a task)
This is just as fast as the global shortcut. It also provides the flexibility to directly add a task in a certain section of “My Tasks” (where I typically leave the app) after inputting [Windows] + [1].
Hope this helps.

How do I turn off keyboard shortcuts in asana?
Disable Short Cut Key: Ctrl Shift +
- Click your profile picture.
- Access My Settings.
- The first tab should be “General” and you can toggle off this keyboard shortcut in the meantime.

Hi Gary,
I don’t have any “General” section within settings. I’ve checked all the tabs without luck.
I don’t want to uninstall the asana desktop app, but I’d rather have my Excel shortcuts
You have to be on the desktop application to find “General”.
- Click your profile photo.
- Settings
- Choose the tab at top called General (this tab is only available in the Desktop Application)
- Unselect “Enable Global Keyboard Shortcuts”.
