Keyboard shortcuts worth knowing

Few and useful. No need to memorise twenty.

In short

The three that matter: ⌘/Ctrl + F opens search, ⌘/Ctrl + Enter sends the email you are writing, and Escape closes whatever is open (search or reply). Zoom is ⌘/Ctrl with + and −.

Step by step

  1. Search: ⌘ + F (Ctrl + F on Windows)

    Opens the list search and puts the cursor straight in it.
