Clipping + Tab Key = Must Use Mouse [A: Use ⌘' to edit title]

When I clip an email it opens up the nifty capture window and automatically inputs the subject of the email as the title of the task and then selects the content of the email in the notes section.

What if the subject of the email is not what I want my task name to be? How do I change the name?

If I hit the tab key, then it deletes the content and then just tabs within the blank note. I have to use the mouse :( This does not seem to fit OF’s amazing implementation of keyboard shortcuts.

Am I missing something?

⌘’ (command apostrophe) will switch editing from the note to the title. This works in the main outline of the app as well.

⌥⌘’ will hide and show the note.

Hope that helps!

Thank you! I’ve been using that shortcut in the main outline, but for some reason it didn’t occur to me that I should do the same in the capture window. Thank you.
