Hotkeys for off-colour labels

Question

Are there no hotkeys for assigning off-colour labels? By which I mean the (relatively newer) light-colour and dark-colour labels.

I see no mention of it in the Shortcuts page.

But it seems like such a no-brainer to assign it to Shift+Number or something similar, or Alt+ or RShift+, that I keep second guessing myself.

And if it really doesn't exist... It really should?..

Greetings everyone,

I'm encountering a similar problem as @Vongsawat. I recently attempted to personalize the labels on our company board but found that the hotkeys are set to specific colors, and there is no way to change them.

It would also greatly enhance the user experience if we could customize the hotkey numbers for our labels, such as assigning green to 4 and red to 1, etc.

I appreciate @Vongsawat for bringing up this topic for discussion.

Thank you for your feedback!! :)

Indeed it would be great to have a hotkey for each color! I’ll pass your suggestion on to our dev team for consideration. While I can’t guarantee if that would be implemented, it would bring to their attention that users as asking for it.

Also, I’d like to correct myself for my previous reply! When you press the hotkey numbers to select a color, a pop-up will only be displayed when a “plain” color label is not created yet (in case you want to add one).

For example,  If a yellow label is already created and you press 2, it will automatically add the yellow label to the card, otherwise, a pop-up will appear if you want to create one.

But unfortunately, there isn’t a hotkey number specific to each color variation (light/dark) yet, just for the “main” colors.

An alternative is to use the l key (lowercase L)  to show a label popover containing a larger range of labelsHere’s a quick guide for shortcuts: https://blog.trello.com/trello-keyboard-shortcuts-infographic
