I'm not sure of the best place to give this feedback... will try here.

I like many things about the new Task section, but I'm disappointed that task entry has become much harder to use via keyboard.

Previously, entry was simple and uniform:
- tab, type
- tab, type
- tab, type...

Now the workflow is cumbersome:
- tab, space, use arrow keys to select folder (it doesn't always work to type the folder's first letter), enter
- tab, space, type date, enter
- tab, space, use mouse to set repeat (this seems entirely keyboard-inaccessible), enter
- tab, space, use arrow keys to select priority, enter
- tab, enter description, tab, enter

It's actually faster to use the mouse, which is sort of a bad sign. For me this us "just" a productivity issue, since keyboard entry is (usually) much faster than futzing with a mouse.

But for people with various physical disabilities, it seems to me this makes Toodledo much less accessible. And as far as I can tell, if someone is unable to use a mouse for navigation, they'll be unable to set Repeats on a task.

Unless I'm missing something, which I might well be.

Thanks for the feedback. We plan to keep working on making it easier to use the keyboard in the new site.
