# Work through your to-dos
> Switch your thread to To-dos, open a to-do, review what it brought, and finish it with a key.
Continual writes each [to-do](/docs/concepts/to-dos)'s brief before it reaches you, so most take one
key to finish.
## Open and finish a to-do
Choose **Continual** in the left rail. In the message box, the **Chat |
To-dos** switch shows how many to-dos wait.
Click **To-dos**, or press ⇧ Tab in the message box.
Your to-dos list under **Open** and **Done**. Type in **Search to-dos** to
find one.
Click the to-do. Its own thread opens, headed by the to-do: its title, when
it is due, its brief, the records to review, and the replies on offer.
Choose **Open beside**, or press ⌘ {"\\"}. The first
record to review opens beside the thread. Press the keys again to close it.
Click a reply, or press its number, such as 1. A reply that says
you did it, such as "Sent it", closes the to-do. A reply that asks for more,
such as "Make it shorter", goes to Continual, which works on it. You can
also write anything else to talk it through.
Click **Done**, or press ⌘ ↵. To come back to it
later, click **Snooze**, or press Esc in the empty message box.
The to-do's head then says how it ended. To go back to your main thread, click **Chat** above the
to-do. A to-do's replies show until you first write in its thread.
## Keys while you work
The keys work when the message box is empty. On Windows, use Ctrl in place of ⌘.
| To | Press |
| ------------------------------ | -------------------------------- |
| Switch between Chat and To-dos | ⇧ Tab |
| Open or close what to review | ⌘ {"\\"} |
| Fill in the first reply | Tab |
| Choose a reply | Its number, such as 1 |
| Complete the to-do | ⌘ ↵ |
| Snooze the to-do | Esc |
When a to-do offers replies, the first one shows in the empty message box. Press Tab to
fill it in, then press ↵ to send it, or change it first.
**Snooze** takes the to-do out of your open to-dos until 9 AM tomorrow, in your local time. To
cancel a to-do, ask Continual.
A to-do that decides an approval has no **Done** button. It closes when you
approve or decline the change. See [Approve or decline a
change](/docs/guides/approve-changes).
