📄 Description

Summary

  • Adds a global-hotkey-activated Quick Entry overlay window (CmdOrCtrl+Shift+A) to the Electron desktop app for fast task creation without switching to the main window
  • Reuses the existing QuickActions.vue component, auto-selecting "New Task" mode in the overlay
  • Adds system tray with Show/Quick Add/Quit menu and hide-to-tray on window close
  • Uses BroadcastChannel API to notify the main window to refresh after task creation from the overlay

New files

File Purpose
desktop/preload-quick-entry.js Context bridge exposing window.quickEntry.close() IPC
frontend/src/composables/useQuickAddMode.ts Detects ?mode=quick-add URL param
frontend/src/components/quick-actions/QuickAddOverlay.vue Wrapper component for the overlay window
frontend/src/types/quick-entry.d.ts TypeScript declaration for window.quickEntry

Modified files

File Changes
desktop/main.js Full rewrite: quick-entry BrowserWindow, globalShortcut, system tray, IPC, security fixes
desktop/package.json Added files array to electron-builder config
frontend/src/App.vue Routes ?mode=quick-add to QuickAddOverlay, transparent background
frontend/src/components/quick-actions/QuickActions.vue Auto-selects "New Task" in quick-add mode, BroadcastChannel notify, skip navigation
frontend/src/components/home/ContentAuth.vue BroadcastChannel listener to refresh on task creation
frontend/src/i18n/lang/en.json Added quickActions.notLoggedIn translation key

Test plan

  • App launches normally with main window and tray icon
  • CmdOrCtrl+Shift+A opens quick entry overlay centered in upper third
  • Overlay pre-selects "New Task" command
  • Typing a task title and pressing Enter creates the task and dismisses the overlay
  • Main window task list refreshes after quick-entry task creation
  • Clicking outside the overlay dismisses it (blur-to-hide)
  • Pressing Escape dismisses the overlay
  • Closing main window hides to tray (app keeps running)
  • Global shortcut works even with main window hidden
  • Tray menu: Show Vikunja, Quick Add Task, Quit all work
  • Not-logged-in state shows appropriate message in overlay
