Quick tip of the day

There are many standard and custom keyboard shortcuts you can access in your Gmail account. Some of them are automatic and ready to use, and some you have to set up yourself. So take a look at which ones you think you will use most to see if they need to be turned on.

To turn on keyboard shortcuts, go to the gear icon and click See all settings. Scroll down to the Keyboard shortcuts section. Click the circle next to keyboard shortcuts to enable and use them. For a list of all shortcuts you can use, click the blue Learn more link in the Keyboard shortcuts section. Then save your settings at the bottom of the screen.

Want to create your own keyboard shortcuts? Go to Settings and click the link marked Advanced at the top of the screen. From there you will be prompted to make your own custom shortcuts.
