Like the title says.
I was very surprised to see there’s no functionality to use keyboard shortcuts to create a sequence of tasks and gateways in camunda.
Big Sad.
I’m new here so maybe the function exists but is hidden somewhere
Most people find it must easier to use a mouse to click things together quite quickly
How would you imagine using the keyboard to build this model? Have you seen this feature in other places?

T - append task
G - append gateway
E - append event
Etc…
Much faster than clicking unless you’re a pro gamer or trying to trick your employers tracking software into making you employee of the month 
Sadly my many years of wasted youth playing Command & Conquer has very much pushed me in the direction of use mouse clicks along with little regard for keyboard short cuts. Probably why i never went pro…
I think for very basic diagrams this might be quite handy.
Luckily enough the modeler and related libraries are all open source and build to be quite extendable, there’s a pretty robust plugin mechanism that you could work on - the cool thing is that we build the plugin system to require almost entirely keyboard input 
so you’ll love it.
