Shortcut: Add Keyboard Shortcuts for Filtering Views (e.g., “Today” View)

Filtering views like “Today” in Aki would be much more useful if supported by keyboard shortcuts. Navigating filters manually slows down workflow, so adding shortcut options would make filtering quick, efficient, and a more viable part of daily task management.

    Filter Keyboard Shortcuts

    Linear as Role Model:
    I’d love for filters to be more accessible via keyboard shortcuts, similar to how Linear handles it:

    • Press f to open filters with focus on the search field.

    • Type the property to filter for (e.g., status, tag, due date) or type the value directly.

    • Clear filters easily with Shift + Option + F.

    Status Quo in Akiflow:
    Currently, pressing Shift + F opens the search bar for projects. Filtering by tags via keyboard is cumbersome: you must Shift + Tab three times, then Enter to search for a tag. Most importantly, there’s no shortcut to reset filters.

    Why This Matters:
    I often triage and tag todos in my inbox (from Linear, Slack, Email, etc.) and then batch similar tasks, e.g., admin tasks or tasks under 15 minutes. Right now, I have to manually select tasks from a larger list, which slows down productivity. Keyboard-accessible filters and a reset shortcut would make task management far more efficient.

    Adding comment in behalf of Eric Linder: Even better would be the ability to save custom filter/view combinations and assign shortcuts to them
