Capture

Press + for a one-line title on the status-row slot. The list stays visible.

• Enter saves and closes
• Shift+Enter saves and stays open
• Tab expands onto the task page (title · notes · scope)

A project board defaults the draft to that project. A project-less board defaults to your desk. Home keeps the cwd-derived default (the repo you opened from, or desk if there is no repo).

A saved task becomes the selection. Success has no status message. The row flash is the feedback. Refusals (empty title, bad thread) paint while the line is open and clear when it closes.

Title is required.

Title tokens

!p and !t each consume one whitespace-delimited argument. Tokens are stripped from the saved title.

Token	Effect
!p	desk
!p name	project by basename (case-insensitive)
!p /path	that path verbatim
!t	unthread
!t name	normalized thread (lowercase ASCII alphanumerics and hyphens, first character alphanumeric, at most 32 characters)

An ambiguous project basename is stored as typed. tsk list --all --json is how you find a typo scope later.

Quick capture (herdr)

Quick capture opens the capture form as a short-lived overlay, without first opening a split board:

herdr plugin action invoke quick-capture --plugin herdr-tsk

Tab through Title, Notes, Thread, Scope. Enter in Title saves. Enter in Notes inserts a line. Ctrl+Enter saves from any field, with Alt+Enter as the legacy-terminal fallback. Esc cancels and leaves.

An idle board watching the same ~/.tsk picks up the new task on the next tick.

Expanded form

From the + line, Tab opens the task page in notes edit because a draft has nothing to view yet. Esc returns to the line. A second Tab restores what you typed.
