## Manual

Since Todoist, its Windows 10 app doesn't support global shortcuts at the moment. I made a small workaround that adds the "open Todoist" and "Add new Todoist task" global shortcuts to Win 10. These workarounds add the following global TODOIST shortcuts to WIN 10:

    - alt+ctrl+a (Add new task)

    - alt+ctrl+s (open Todoist)
