## Notes

- **Esc is context-aware:** It prioritizes closing dialogs first, then exiting edit mode, then deselecting
- **Redo only works immediately after undo:** Any new action clears the redo history
- **Quick-add uses Ctrl only (not Cmd):** On Mac, this avoids conflicts with system screenshot shortcuts (Cmd+Shift+2/3/4)
- **Ctrl+Shift+2 on Mac:** Some Mac systems reserve this key. Use **Ctrl+Shift+S** to add to "Schedule" instead
- **Overdue tasks float automatically:** They appear at the top of their quadrant regardless of manual ordering
- **Theme toggle:** Click ☾/☀ in toolbar to switch between dark and light modes (preference saved)
- **All data is local:** Changes save instantly to your browser's localStorage
