Hi! Everyone, hope you all are fine.
Today in this post I will tell you about the Gmail Shortcut Keys. If you don’t know about Gmail Shortcut Keys let me tell you that first, in Gmail labs there is a feature called Custom keyboard shortcuts which helps you to do almost everything in Gmail with your keyboard. And if you feel most suitable to work with keyboard then mouse then you need to first enable Custom keyboard shortcuts.

To enable go to Gmail.com, login to your account, then click on Options icon (at top-right corner) –> Mail settings –> Labs tab, from there enable Custom keyboard shortcuts option and Save Changes. Or by simply going to http://mail.google.com/mail/?kbd=1.
