Want to enter items a little faster?

At the bottom of every action browser is the quick entry box. Here you can type the name of an action, then hit return to add it.

But there's more!

This box lets you specify a number of details about the action. That is, you can type in an action in the following format
[optional
did] name stuff
and it will get parsed and set appropriately. The complete list of stuff you can do is as follows:

did    
If the action begins with the word did, the action will be created and marked done. This allows you to use Frictionless as a journal. i.e.
did uploaded new Frictionless

Would get added as "upload new Frictionless", only marked done.
@context or @ context   
If Frictionless sees an @ it will search for a context beginning with the next phrase. So appending @Work will set the context to "Work".
> Project
If Frictionless sees an
>, it will then search for a project beginning with the next phrase and set the project for the new action to that.
:due April 20, 2007
If Frictionless see
:due, it will then try to interpret the next phrase as a due date. :on works for the Do on date, and :start works for the start date.
:u :i :ui
If Frictionless sees any of the above, it will set the Urgent/Important flags accordingly.
:area, :someday, :template, :recur, :reset also work.
So I just entered a completed action for this posting as:
did Wrote Q&D Guide > Frictionless @ writing
Which Frictionless interpreted as "Add a
completed action to the Frictionless project called Wrote Q&D Guide with Context writing.
