Keyboard shortcuts
Every keyboard shortcut in inbuxa Webmail, by screen — getting around, the message list, conversations, writing mail and the calendar.
On this page
This page lists every keyboard shortcut in inbuxa Webmail, so you can get around without the mouse. They are always on; there is nothing to switch on.
To see the list inside the app, press ? anywhere, or open Settings › Keyboard shortcuts.
Start with these
| Keys | Does |
|---|---|
| C | Write a new message |
| / | Search mail |
| J / K | Next / previous conversation |
| E | Archive |
| G then I | Go to Inbox |
| Ctrl+Enter | Send |
How they behave
- On a Mac, Ctrl means Cmd. inbuxa Webmail picks the right key for your computer, and the in-app list shows which one it picked.
- Some shortcuts are two keys, one after the other — not held together. For G then I, press G, let go, then press I within 1.2 seconds. If you are too slow, the sequence is forgotten. The first key does nothing on its own.
- Nothing happens while you are typing — in a text box, a search field, a dropdown or the message editor. The exception is three shortcuts for writing mail, marked below, because you want them mid-sentence.
- Nothing happens while a dialog or menu is open. They handle their own keys, so Esc closes the dialog instead of reaching the mail list behind it.
- The same letter can do different things on different screens. N is the next message in a conversation, but the next period — day, week or month — in the calendar. A is reply all in mail, but agenda view in the calendar. Where a screen has no shortcut of its own for a key, the ones under Getting around still work.
Getting around
These work on every screen.
| Keys | Does |
|---|---|
| ? | Show this list |
| / | Search mail |
| C | Compose a new message |
| G then I | Go to Inbox |
| G then S | Go to Starred |
| G then T | Go to Sent |
| G then D | Go to Drafts |
| G then A | Go to All mail / Archive |
| G then L | Go to Calendar |
| G then C | Go to Contacts |
| G then F | Go to Files |
| G then K | Go to Settings |
The message list
| Keys | Does |
|---|---|
| J | Next conversation |
| K | Previous conversation |
| O | Open conversation |
| U | Back to the list |
| Esc | Back to the list, or clear the selection if there is one |
| X | Select this conversation |
| Ctrl+A | Select all |
Acting on a conversation
If you have selected conversations, these act on all of them. Otherwise they act on the conversation you are on. For example, X X X then E archives three.
| Keys | Does |
|---|---|
| E | Archive |
| # | Delete |
| ! | Report spam, or not spam |
| S | Star, or unstar |
| Shift+I | Mark as read |
| Shift+U | Mark as unread |
| V | Move to… |
| L | Label… |
You can undo every one of these from the message that pops up afterwards.
Inside a conversation
| Keys | Does |
|---|---|
| R | Reply |
| A | Reply all |
| F | Forward |
| N | Next message in the conversation |
| P | Previous message in the conversation |
| ] | Archive, and open the next conversation |
Writing a message
These three work while you are typing — that is the point of them.
| Keys | Does |
|---|---|
| Ctrl+Enter | Send |
| Ctrl+S | Save draft |
| Esc | Close the composer, saving the draft |
Calendar
| Keys | Does |
|---|---|
| T | Today |
| N | Next period |
| P | Previous period |
| D | Day view |
| W | Week view |
| M | Month view |
| A | Agenda view |
| C | New event |
Aliases
These also work. They are left out of the in-app list, because a second key for the same thing makes the list harder to read.
| Alias | Same as |
|---|---|
| Down / Up | J / K |
| Enter | O — open |
| Y | E — archive |
| Del | # — delete |
Screens without shortcuts
Contacts and Files have no shortcuts of their own. The Getting around shortcuts still work there: G then C takes you to Contacts, and / still reaches search. Inside them, use the mouse or Tab.
