When on either the town,or global page,there is a fast link to many items already,including tasks.

The last icon of the first set, is the menu page.

Just press each keyboard button and you will easliy find what you are asking for :)

Sorry I meant to say Quests (Daily, Weekly and Monthly) and not Tasks. 

That makes more sense,I found also that it can be an inconvenience having to switch to town view to click claim, auto accept would be ideal,especially if something finishes when you can't access the game.

Also annoying when maintenance cuts into your expected time to complete something.
