# Things (software) | | url:: [Things](https://culturedcode.com/things/) | | ---- | ---- | ## Custom Hotkeys - https://support.culturedcode.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2785159-keyboard-shortcuts-for-mac - Ctrl-Space - Open Quick Entry - Ctrl-Opt-Space - Open Quick Entry with selection - You can drag tasks from Things onto Fantastical for when you want to plan your day and see certain tasks on your calendar - The calendar is for something with a specific start time and a specific end time. It’s for “events”. Think appointments, almost always involving other people. - The absolute best feature of Things IMO is being able to set a deadline and being able to set a plan date. Deadline means consequences. Plan date means, “This is when I would like to do something.” - Remember the Quick entry with autofill will prepopulate the current item like the email or file you are currently viewing with a link to that item - You can can also copy and paste a plain text list into Things to create new to-dos (one to-do per line of of text). On the Mac, just copy a list of text and paste it into Things via ⌘ Cmd + V. On your iPad or iPhone, use the menu \[downarrowthing\] in any list to paste copied text from the clipboard.
