The command bar

Press ⌘K or / and start typing to filter the list. It offers:

  • Search emails, Compose new email and Sync emails
  • Go to commands for your folders and labels, plus Sync & Data Info and Manage Subscriptions
  • With a conversation open: Archive thread, Move to Trash, Mark as unread, Star thread, Move to a label, and Unsubscribe from this sender when the email offers it
  • Keyboard shortcuts and Sign out

Good to know

  • The in-app list shows ⌘ on every computer. On Windows and Linux the key is Ctrl, so Ctrl+K opens the command bar and Ctrl+F opens search.
  • Two shortcuts aren't in the list: ⌘, opens Settings, and ⌘Enter sends the email you're writing.
  • Shortcuts don't work while you're typing in a text box. Some only work in certain places: P and L in Recap, Shift+A in a team mailbox.
  • Many keys work like Gmail's, such as C, R, A, F, E, J, K, # and G then I.
