Google-Calendar Migration Tip of the Day #8

Save Time with Keyboard Shortcuts!


It's the start of a new year and who wants to save time?  Keyboard Shortcuts to the Rescue!

Instead of using your mouse or touchpad and scrolling over to click +Compose button to start a new email, you can just type the letter c!

For this to work, you'll need to make sure you have keyboard shortcuts turned on in Gmail. Here's how:
        1. Using Chrome, visit mail.google.com
        2. Click the Gear icon > Settings
        3. Under the General Tab, scroll down and find Keyboard shortcuts, Turn on 
        4. Scroll to the bottom of the page and Save Changes
Keyboard Shortcuts On


Now try it out!  Type c and you're ready to start composing a new email.

BONUS TIPS!
This keyboard shortcut also works within Google Calendar! Visit calendar.google.com, type the letter c and you'll be able to create a new event.
