Navigate the Console/Dashboard entirely by keyboard (Tab between title, notes and journal)

Features

The Console is built for capturing without leaving the keyboard, but once I've typed a task title there's no keyboard way to reach the notes section. Tab doesn't move the cursor there, so I have to reach for the mouse. Today, Tab takes me to the Journal section but the notes section comes before it. So it'd make sense to first navigate to the notes section and then the journal section.

capturing a task with context (title plus notes) or logging a quick journal line should never need the mouse. Keyboard-only navigation is also an accessibility need.

    Thanks. What we could do is use a shortcut/keyword in the console to edit a property e.g =notes would put the focus in the notes property. That would work with any property. WDYT?

      Love it: more general than what I asked for. Two thoughts:

      (1) autocomplete on = (like > for pages) so =n + Enter is enough. Keeps it almost as fast as a single key.

      (2) Only trigger at word start / respect Esc, so titles like "x=y" stay literal. Would =journal work the same way?
