Gmail Keyboard Shortcuts

There are people around who have been using Google mail service since from its inception. But their hand on it is that of a novice who has recently signed up. They still use a mouse to navigate for each and every action: compose mail, send, forward, and almost for every task. These people had to face problem when they do not find their companion (mouse). It becomes for them a daunting task to manage themselves to this particular situation.

But now they don't have to worry about it. They can use Keyboard Shortcuts to do every action they do with a mouse.

Press "c". You will be able to compose a new mail.
Press "k". It moves your cursor to a more recent mail. However, you can hit or "o" to expand or open the selected mail. Similarly, to move cursor to the old mail, press "j".
Press "u". It returns you to the inbox. In addition it also refreshes your page.
Press "x". It selects and automatically checks the box so that you can archive, apply a label, or choose an action from the drop-down menu.
Press "s" to put star on a message. It even adds or removes a star.
Press "r" to reply to the message sender. If you want to reply to all message recipients then press "a". And to forward, press "f".
Now the most important thing that we often do: delete. Press followed with "#".

The above mentioned keyboard shortcuts are those which I use when I am literally above Gmail. Well, here are few more shortcuts that goes with combination. Here "G" for Google rules. Read below and enjoy the "g" mania.

Press "g" then "i" to go 'Inbox' Returns you to the inbox.
Press "g" then "t" to go to 'Sent Mail'.
Press "g" then "a", it will take you to 'All Mail'.
Press "g" then "s" to go to 'Starred'.
Press "g" then "c" to go to 'Contacts'.
