Simple keyboard shortcut to add task and frames
Pressing 'c' allows for quick adding of an event to the calendar. Could we have a similarly simple shortcut to add a task?
At the moment there are always a couple more key presses or clicks required to get to add a task than to add an event (e.g. 'c' followed by clicking to change the event to a task; or using the command line and then pressing down/clicking before pressing enter).

The recent updated added "NT" as a hotkey to add a task.

+1 to this. I support the idea of having a separate shortcut to add a task onto the calendar, or the ideas below to use the existing "C" for a new event with a modifier. This will then prevent the multiple steps of creating an event and changing it to a task, or adding a task and then dragging onto the Calendar.

As an additional motivation for this "quick win"-feature:
Currently, there is is actually is no way at all to quickly add a task to the inbox (e.g. when your sidebar is grouped by priority)
there is no global '+'-button to add a new task to the inbox
when doing it via 'c'->Task: The task gets planned (I cannot see the workflow where this would be an expected/desired behavior)

Christoph: You can add tasks with the command bar and assign a task list with > but other hotkeys would be nice.

Commenting to bump this up the list - Luke Barnard this is what we discussed in discord.

I think adding something like a ctrl+click on the calendar view to make a task would also speed things up.
