Hello,

To add keyboard shortcuts for creating new child and parent tasks, you can use the addShortcut method. This method allows you to define custom keyboard shortcuts and associate them with specific actions. Here’s an example of how you can achieve this:

 gantt.plugins({
    keyboard_navigation: true
});

gantt.config.keyboard_navigation = true;
gantt.config.keyboard_navigation_cells = true;

...

gantt.addShortcut("alt+ctrl+enter", () => {
    const parentTaskId = gantt.addTask(
        { text: "Parent Task" },
        gantt.config.root_id
    );

    gantt.addTask(
        { text: "Child Task 1" },
        parentTaskId
    );
});
