Why Keyboard-First
Story mapping is a thinking exercise. Switching between keyboard and mouse breaks your flow. You lose the thread of the idea you were about to write down. Cartographer lets you stay on the keyboard the whole time: hover over or select a card and every action is one key away.

- b Move to backlog
