Feature description
KanBased already provides excellent Vim-inspired navigation (HJKL for movement, I for edit, etc.).
However, it currently lacks a way to reorder or move cards using only the keyboard.
Adding Shift-modified Vim keys would let users move focused cards both within the same column and between columns, maintaining the fast, keyboard-driven workflow the app is built around.
Proposed solution
Introduce the following keybindings when a task card is focused:
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Shift + K | Move the focused card up within its column |
| Shift + J | Move the focused card down within its column |
| Shift + H | Move the focused card to the previous column |
| Shift + L | Move the focused card to the next column |
Expected behavior:
- The card moves instantly without losing focus
- The viewport scrolls if needed to keep the card visible
- If movement isn’t possible (e.g. top of column or first column), nothing happens
- Works consistently with existing Vim-style navigation (
HJKL)
Motivation
- Keeps the workflow entirely keyboard-driven
- Perfectly fits the existing Vim-like design of KanBased
- Greatly improves speed and efficiency for power users
- Increases accessibility and usability without needing drag-and-drop
