## 🖥️ Desktop

Select an item and press one of these shortcuts. The new item opens so you can type; press `Enter` when you're done.

- `Ctrl/Cmd + Enter` — New item below the selected item
- `Alt/Opt + Enter` — New item above the selected item
- `Tab (⇥)` — New item inside the selected item
- `Shift + Tab` — New item that the selected items move into

*`Alt/Opt + Enter` adds “Renew passport” above “Book flights”, `Ctrl/Cmd + Enter` adds “Ask for days off” below it, and `Tab` adds “Email Maria” inside.*
