I need a keyboard shortcut or a menu command to create a new list in a board

Hi @Thomas Arns,

Trello doesn’t currently offer a dedicated keyboard shortcut to create a new list directly. But here’s the fastest way to do it:

  1. Use your mouse or tab through until you reach the “➕ Add another list” button at the right end of your board.

  2. Press Enter to activate it, type the name, then Enter again to save.

Tip: You can also press / to focus the search bar, type a list name, and quickly jump around — but not create new lists (yet!).

It would be a great feature to have though! You can suggest it at https://trello.com/contact under “Give Product Feedback.”
