Desktop Navigation

Today we're rolling out a new version of our desktop application with improved navigation controls and recent issue history navigation. These changes will bring our desktop application closer to the navigation controls found in the web version. To quickly jump between issues Recent Issue History menu displays the list of issues you accessed recently. You can also access the same list through Open Issue... shortcut O then I.

In addition to visual back and forward buttons, we also added new keyboard shortcuts (CmdArrowLeft CmdArrowRight) in addition to existing ones (Cmd[ Cmd]) to make keyboard navigation easier on some non-US keyboard layouts.

If you already have the Linear desktop application installed, you will get a prompt to upgrade to the latest version (1.4.0). If you don't yet have the desktop app installed download from linear.app/download.
