So recently I am really frustrated by my email. There is just so many emails, and I want to work through it quickly. Because I use Gmail, I have to learn the keyboard shortcut. I learned it before, but I keep forgetting it. That’s why I write this blog.

Most of the keyboard shortcut I use is in the inbox list, so here they are.

Navigation

• j/k: Move down / up the list (similar to vim)
• o or Enter: Open selected / hovered email
• u: Return to inbox list
• /: Search mail
• g i: Go to inbox

Action & Management

• e: Archive email
• #: Delete email
• r: Reply
• a: Reply all
• f: Forward
• s: Star or unstar
• z: Undo last action

Composing & Formatting

• c: Compose new message
• Ctrl + k: Insert link
• Ctrl + b / i / u: Bold, italic, underline
