Adding Cards Is Getting Harder For No Reason

Question

It used to be that you could add cards and type @ to add the member and # to add the label in-line. Those features were deleted.

But after that was removed at least when I had a filtered view and added a card that particular card stayed visible so I could click into it and make changes. Now when I have a filtered view and try to add a card the card it immediately disappears. So I have to delete the filter, find the card in the giant mess, and then open it.

We're adding clicks for no reason and slowing things down. Why?

Is there a faster way to add cards that I'm missing?

As a workaround for the missing tags, press `Shift + Enter` to open a new card instantly, then use `L` for labels, `M` for members, or `Spacebar` to assign yourself. You can also use Trello Automation to auto-label cards based on title keywords.
