<pre>The column UI is an alternative text-based user interface (TUI) using adjacent [[columns|Column]], each with a customized todo list. You could create a column with all your [[relevant|Relevancy]] items, one with only overdue items and one column with only [[starred|Starring]] items.
Navigation between items is easy: just use the arrow keys. There are also (configurable) [[keys|ColumnShortcuts]] to perform certain actions, for example press `x` to mark the currently highlighted item as completed. There is also a command line to enter any topydo [[command|Command]], accessible by pressing `:` (just like vi).

Column UI can be [[controlled with the keyboard|ColumnShortcuts]]. Some simple mouse actions are supported as well, such as scrolling or selecting a todo item.
!! Note for Windows users
Column mode does not work natively on Windows (see topydo issue <<issue 194>>, or urwid issue <<issue 152 urwid/urwid>>). However, you can use column mode under [ext[Cygwin|https://www.cygwin.com/]].
