The current item in GQueues is marked by a black dot to the left of the item.

All Items

Typing the following keys will operate on all items in the queue.

\ - n - expand / collapse all notes
\ - t - expand / collapse all tags

Editing

When editing the description of the current item:

tab - edit the next item's description
shift-tab - edit the previous item's description

Hitting tab when editing the last item in the queue will create a new item.
Hitting shift-tab when editing the first item in the queue will create a new item.

When typing an item description or note, hit the enter key to "save" the text you just typed. This will also allow you to use the current item keystrokes again.

To start a new line within the description or note, type shift-enter.
