I just stumbled across a bookmark-worthy page for all you Hotmail users. The Life Rocks blog posted a great big list of keyboard shortcuts that work in Windows Live Hotmail.
These shortcuts let you navigate through Hotmail completely mouse-free, something which not only speeds up the time you spend in your email, but can also help those affected with carpal tunnel, a medical problem that makes using a computer mouse painful. (Trust me, I know).
I couldn’t help myself, I had to re-share this handy list. The shortcuts are, as follows:
- Delete a message – Delete
- Create a new message- Ctrl+N
- Send a message – Ctrl+Enter
- Open a message – Ctrl+Shift+O
- Print a message – Ctrl+Shift+P
- Reply to a message – Ctrl+R
- Reply all to a message- Ctrl+Shift+R
- Forward a message – Ctrl+Shift+F
- Save a draft message – Ctrl+S
- Mark a message as junk – Ctrl+Shift+J
- Mark a message as read – Ctrl+Q
- Mark a message as unread – Ctrl+U
- Move to a folder – Ctrl+Shift+V
- Open the next message – Ctrl+.
- Open the previous message – Ctrl+,
- Close a message – Esc
- Search your e-mail messages – /
- Check spelling – F7
- Select all – S then A
- Deselect all – S then N
- Go to the inbox – F then I
- Go to your Drafts folder – F then D
- Go to your Sent folder- F then S
