3) Edit title

To edit the title of a card, simply press T. This will work if you're using the arrow keys to navigate and even if you just hover over a card with your mouse. Rather than clicking on a card and then clicking on its title from the popup, pressing T will load the popup with the title in edit mode immediately. It may not seem like much but it will certainly save you a lot of time in the long run. And of course, after you edit your title, click ENTER to save it and ESC to close the popup.
