1. Card Counter with Totalizer:


Adding this extension on your Chrome browser shows you count of all the cards along with the total cards on your board!

2. Copy and Paste Multiple Items:


With this feature, one can copy a list having multiple items from Excel or Word and paste as a single card.
Each line will be separate and an individual card will be created for each item.

 

3. Create a New Card, Assign a Member, and Add a Due Date with a single key:


Ideally, in a case when you want to create a new card under a certain card, you have to click on the 'Add another card' link at the bottom of every list, which then creates a card at the bottom of that very list.
But, if you just hover over the card under which you want to create a new card and hit the 'N' key from your keyboard, a new card space will be created and you can add your card there. Easy!
Similarly, if you hover over any card and press the 'A' and 'D' key from your keyboard, a pop-up with the list of all the current members on the board and due date calendar will appear, respectively.
One can also add self as a member to a card by just hovering over a card and hitting spacebar key from the keyboard.

 

4. Add a List anywhere:


Just a double-click between two lists on board will bring up a pop-up to add a new list in-between those lists.
One can also select a particular position to put the new list.

 

5. Convert Checklist Tasks/Issues to Cards:


In a case when a checklist task/issue begins to grow, sometimes you have to let it go. Converting it into a new card that is.
For this, just click the checklist item and select "Convert to Card."

 

6. Hold Shift to scroll a board with your mouse:


Scrolling on a board with a lot of lists is a task in itself.
This can be overcome with a simple trick. 
Just hold the shift key from your keyboard and do a normal scroll.
