Moving cards between lists

To move a card to a neighboring list, click, drag and drop a card on either side of the Todo window. The list name will appear along the side when you're in the 'drop zone'. You can also quickly move a card to the next list on the right by clicking the Checkbox to the left of the card.

Autofocusing your Trello cards

You can use Momentum's Autofocus feature to display the top card in your list at the center of your screen. When you check off the current focus, that card will move to the list on the right, and your focus will be replaced with the next card in your Autofocused list.

To enable Autofocus, click ... at the top right corner of the Todo window, and then click Autofocus. Clicking the Autofocus option again will disable it.
