Hello Kanboard users and developers !

I’m looking for a way to implement “Preivous task in column” and “Next task in column” shortcuts when viewing a task. Does anyone know how I can achieve this ?

Thanks in advance !

Best regards,

eM

Without taking a more in-depth look into:

- On edit task, add your two buttons to the edit form.
- Create a list of all tasks in the same column.
- Attach handlers to your buttons to navigate through the list.

Please remember to take care of saving modified fields before navigating.
