Keyboard Shortcut to Move a Card from 1 Board to Another

Question

HI Community

Is there any keyboard shortcut so that I may be able to move a card from 1 board to another board?

I already know the keyboard shortcuts to move cards from one list to another list (<>) within a board. But sometimes I need to move a card from a list on Board A to a list on Board B.

The Pop-up for move also does not gain keyboard focus. It requires that the mouse be used.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

If the move pop-up can be opened with a keyboard shortcut and then is keyboard enabled allowing movement with Tab Button and then selection in Dropdowns then this can be a lot better solution.

This would amount to a feature request though.

I am surprised though that Trello does not seem to support any keyboard based access to the move pop-up.

Pretty Nice! Though not the exact solution but a pretty nice way. Thanks for your help.

The next problem is I have 5 different boards. So I need 4 Additional lists on every single board and then move the cards to those lists to move them to the relevant board.

I do not think there is a keyboard shortcut for this activity. Maybe a power-up.

Interesting question @praveenkansara, I am not aware of a keyboard shortcut to move cards between boards (maybe someone does and will comment here).

If there isn't, perhaps one of these automation options will prove useful:

1. Create a card button (using Trello Automation) to move a card. You will need to open the card and click the button, but at least this won't require you to switch boards every time.

2. Create a rule to move a card with a certain label. You can then use the keyboard shortcut to label a card, that will trigger the rule.

3. Use an automation to move cards between Trello boards (scroll to the bottom of the article) by dragging a card to a certain list. See example of rule below.

Hope that helps!
