# Act on tasks without opening them > Use the task menu, the keyboard and multi-select to reschedule, prioritize, move, duplicate, complete or delete one task or many at once, with Undo every time. Source: https://priortasks.com/docs/tasks/task-actions/ Last updated: 2026-11-05 You can do most things to a task without opening it: from a menu, from the keyboard, or on several tasks at once. There are no confirmation dialogs, because every action can be undone. ## The task menu Right-click a task, press and hold it, use the ••• button on its row, or swipe it to the left on a phone. The menu has: - **Schedule**, called **Reschedule** on an overdue task: **Today**, **Tomorrow**, **Next week** (the coming Monday), **Pick a date…** and **Remove date**. A reminder keeps its distance from the due date. - **Priority**: P1 to P4. - **Move to project**, with a search box. **No project** takes the task out of its project. Projects you can only view and finished projects are not offered. Moving clears the task's assignee, parent, milestone and blockers. - **Move to quadrant**, on the Priority lens. See [The Eisenhower matrix](https://priortasks.com/docs/tasks/eisenhower-matrix/). - **Not today**, on Today's current priorities, and **Pick for today**, on **Up next**. See [Use the Today page](https://priortasks.com/docs/getting-started/today-page/). - **Edit task**, **Duplicate** (an open copy with the checklist unticked), **Copy link**, and in the desktop app **Copy app link**. - **Focus on this task**, which picks it in the Focus timer and opens the Focus page. - **Select**, on phones, to start selecting several tasks. - **Mark as complete** or **Mark as incomplete**, and **Delete task**. On a computer the menu shows the key for each action. On a phone it opens as a sheet from the bottom. ## Swipe on a phone On All tasks, My tasks and the Priority lens, swipe a task to the right to complete it, or to the left for the menu. ## Select several tasks On **All tasks** and **My tasks**: - Tick the checkbox that appears when you hover a row. - Cmd-click or Ctrl-click a row to toggle it, and Shift-click to select a range. - Press X on a focused row, or use the select button in a group's header to take the whole group. - On a phone, choose **Select** in the menu, then tap rows. A bar appears with **N selected** and the buttons **Complete**, **Date**, **Priority**, **Project** and **Delete**, plus **Clear selection**. One action on the selection makes one **Undo** toast, like "3 tasks deleted". Esc clears the selection, and it ends when you leave the page. ## From the keyboard Move through a list with J and K, then press E to edit, Space to complete, 1 to 4 for the priority, T for today and Shift T for tomorrow. The full list is in [Keyboard shortcuts](https://priortasks.com/docs/getting-started/keyboard-shortcuts/). With several tasks selected, the keys act on all of them. ## Good to know - Every action shows a toast with **Undo**. See [Undo and delete](https://priortasks.com/docs/tasks/undo-and-delete/). - Tasks of a project you can only view cannot be changed. A project shared with others needs a connection to change. See [Offline use and sync](https://priortasks.com/docs/getting-started/offline-and-sync/). - Completing a repeating task creates its next occurrence, and **Undo** removes it again. See [Recurring tasks](https://priortasks.com/docs/tasks/recurring-tasks/).
