Keyboard shortcuts
Move through your mail without the mouse: navigate, read, reply, star, remind, archive, and delete from the keyboard, plus the command palette.
Mailhopper is built to run from the keyboard. Shortcuts are live in the inbox. They're ignored while you're typing in a field, or while Compose or the command palette is open.
Command palette
Navigating the list
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| j / ↓ | Move to the next message |
| k / ↑ | Move to the previous message |
| Home / End | Jump to the top / bottom of the list |
| Enter | Open the first conversation when none is selected |
| Space | Select the current message (ShiftSpace for a range) |
| ⌘A / CtrlA | Select every message in the view |
| Esc | Close the open message, then clear the selection |
| / | Focus the search bar |
| c | Compose a new message |
Moving the cursor opens that message in the reading pane as you go.
Acting on a message
These act on the message you're reading. On a threaded conversation, archive, trash, and mark-read apply to the whole thread; the rest act on the message in front of you.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| r | Reply |
| a | Reply all |
| f | Forward |
| s | Star / Unstar |
| h | Remind me later |
| ⇧H | Dismiss the reminder on this message |
| d | Add to a digest |
| u | Mark read / unread |
| e | Archive / Unarchive |
| ⇧E | Archive and always archive from this sender |
| ! | Report junk / Not junk |
| # | Move to Trash |
Compose
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| ⌘Enter / CtrlEnter | Send |
| ⌥⌘C | Show Cc / Bcc |
| Esc | Close the compose window (saves a draft) |
Right after a send, press Z to undo it within the undo window. See Sending email.
Shortcut hints
Turn on shortcut mode under Settings → Inbox to show the key for each action right on the reading-pane buttons and in the status bar, so the shortcuts are easy to learn.
A few shortcuts (snooze chords and a help overlay) are still on the way as those features land.
