        $ evolution --help
        Usage:
          evolution [OPTION...] - The Evolution PIM and Email Client
        
        Help Options:

          --help-all                  Show all help options
          --help-gtk                  Show GTK+ Options
        
        Application Options:
          -c, --component             Start Evolution showing the specified component. Available options are 
'mail', 'calendar', 'contacts', 'tasks', and 'memos'

          --offline                   Start in offline mode

          --force-shutdown            Forcibly shut down Evolution
          --debug=FILE                Send the debugging output of all components to a file.

          -q, --quit                  Request a running Evolution process to quit
          --display=DISPLAY           X display to use
        

So the command you need to bind the keyboard shortcut to is

  evolution --component tasks
