How can I add a task (not a subtask) in RTM using only the keyboard?

Question

The keyboard shortcuts page for Remember the Milk says to use t for adding a new item to the current list, but whenever I do so, it tries adding a subtask to the currently selected task instead...how can I add another task (not a subtask) in the list?

Answer 1

The reason it adds a subtask rather than a new task is that you've selected an item from the list. First press esc to leave editing the task you're on, and then press t to add a new task.
