Time & Chaos, the terrific contact and time management tool, has quite a few keyboard shortcuts. I've listed a fair number of them below. Refer to the software's Help information (F1), their User's Guide, or visit their website's Knowledge Base for more information about this powerful, feature-packed program.
Credits: Warm thanks to Time & Chaos support for their helpful assistance and insight about their shortcuts during the preparation of this chart.
