Basics keyboard shotcuts for Gmail and Yandex. Mail

New interface Yandex Mail

Working with the keyboard with this interface pleases much more than others. Apparently because of its simplicity.

The main thing is the keyboard arrows. Logical, convenient, wonderful. It is discovered quite by accident, and from the information found in the Help section, I did not find them, but I immediately realized that this was not required. Intuitive arrows, the delete button (guess what it does?), The Enter button (if the list of letters opens the letter, if you are in the letter returns to the list of letters), a space highlights the letter!

Other shotkats are described in the help section:
help.yandex.ru/webmail/?id=932919 - very simple and useful help.
')
M - to the list of topics inside the letter (the same thing does Enter), C - to create a letter. R and F - reply, forward. Move to next. / prev a letter: Ctrl + right or left, or N and P. Everything is so intuitively understandable, they are simply decrypted. At the same time, it is pleasant that there is no need to memorize much - the main tasks are performed by the arrows.

Further, interesting shortcuts: L (from the word label) - put a “label” to the letter. Q - quick reply.

A chip read in the Gmail help that works in Yandex too: Esc - “Escape from input fields” - for example, after pressing the C button (creating a letter) - we enter the address, so the shortcuts stop working. Exit - Esc.

And now what is bad. I tried to print a letter from the keyboard. In addition to Ctrl + P - standard for the browser - nothing. At first I did not understand at all: how so? Then I tried to print the letter with the mouse and found that there is no “print version” link, and the preview (in FF) gives an extra blank white page. Although, this thing does not apply to work from the keyboard.

Gmail

The first thing that catches your eye when working with Gmail: they only work in the English layout.

The second is complexity. It is very difficult to learn all the shots. Their names are absolutely not remembered. Therefore, I decided that it would be better to divide their study into several stages.

Stage one, or the most necessary

So, J and K - moving through the letters. N and P - moving inside a conversation by letters. X - select a letter (tick).

A very interesting U button is a return from any letter to the Inbox, and inside the Inbox is an update.

Clicking on the exclamation mark - Report Spam (yes, there is logic here). R key inside the letter - Reply (F - forward). E - Archive. C - create a new letter.

Stage two, or cause interest

Moving through the mailbox is due to the so-called Combo-keys. For example, G (go) then A - All mail. G then I - Inbox. And so on. Or, for example, the selection of letters occurs with the * button (on the notebook keyboard, the asterisk is pressed only as shift + 8). So, * then A - select all letters, * then N - remove selection of all letters.

/ - Search. The dot (.) Opens a drop-down menu (it is responsible for the placement of label labels). Inside the drop-down menu - control arrows.

But the buttons [and] - Archive and go to the previous or next.

And instead of the third stage there is one very interesting shock :? (with shifto). Or this link: mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=mail&answer=6594
