Keyboard shortcuts

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.

These work on every screen.

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.
