Gmail Shortcuts

In order to properly use gmail I need to memorise some of these keyboard shortcuts.

To access all keyboard shortcuts I needed to go to the shortcut documentation

shift + ?

and then click enable.

The following keyboard shortcuts were useful to me:

  1. Select an inbox item with x
  2. Mark an item as read with shift + i
  3. Mark an item as unread with shift + u
  4. Go back to inbox with g + i
  5. Move between inbox items with arrow keys
  6. Jump into an inbox item with return

The main feeling of it being "different" was that when you move between inbox items they don't automatically mark as read. This might be something you can change it settings but maybe I'll leave it as is for now and just use it.
