Learn Keyboard shortcuts help you save time by allowing you to never take your hands off the keyboard to use the mouse. You'll need a Standard 101/102-Key or Natural PS/2 Keyboard to use the shortcuts. Some keyboard shortcuts can be used immediately, and others need to be enabled before you can use them
Over the years, with its abilities to process messages using rules and filters and its priority inbox feature, Gmail has gotten a reputation of turning people into email ninjas--that is, very efficient at processing their email. One additional reason people love processing messages with Gmail is because of all of the available keyboard shortcuts. This video is all about shortcuts to help you navigate through Gmail, though the complete list is very long and I'll show you where you can find it at the end of the video. For now though, I am going to show you some basic keyboard shortcuts that you can use to navigate Gmail.

Now, before you can even get started using keyboard shortcuts you first have to enable them. Now we do that by clicking on the gear in the top right-hand side, select Settings, and scroll down in the General tab and find Keyboard shortcuts. Select Keyboard shortcuts on. From there scroll down to hit the Save Changes button and now you're ready to use keyboard shortcuts. Now, to navigate anywhere in Gmail you first hit the G key on your keyboard and hold it down while you're pressing another key.

For example, I am going to click on my Important label. If I want to get back to my Inbox, I can hold the G key down on my keyboard while simultaneously pressing the letter I. I am instantly brought back to my Inbox. I can do that for some more labels. For example, I can hold the G key down while I hit S, to get to my starred conversations. If I hold the G key down and hit D, I will go to Drafts, while holding the G key down and hitting A will take me to all my mail.

I can even go to my contacts by holding down the G key and tapping C on the keyboard. I will hold on the G key and hit I again to go back to my inbox, because I can even go to labels. I will hold down the G key and type L, and in the search box I can see all my labels. Now, I can tap the down arrow on my keyboard, find the label I want, and hit the Enter key. To get back up to that search bar quickly to do a very quick search I can hit a forward slash. Now I can simply start typing, hit Enter, and find what I'm looking for.

To go back to the search box at any time hit the forward slash. So the complete list of keyboard shortcuts can be found by opening a browser window and going to support.google.com/mail/answer/6594.

And in the meantime practice using them, because the more you use those shortcuts, the more habit-forming it will become,
