Keyboard shortcuts in the desktop app

The desktop app has a menu bar at the top of the screen. Everything below is on it, so you can always look a shortcut up rather than remember it.

These are the Mac shortcuts. On Windows, use Ctrl where this says Cmd.

Paste without the formatting

Copying text from a website or another email usually brings that page's fonts and colours with it. To paste just the words, so they match what you are already writing:

Edit > Paste and Match Style, or Cmd+Shift+V

The pasted text takes on the style of the message you are writing.

Writing

| What you want | Shortcut | | --- | --- | | Start a new message | Cmd+N | | Paste without formatting | Cmd+Shift+V | | Bold | Cmd+B | | Italic | Cmd+I | | Underline | Cmd+U | | Insert a link | Cmd+K | | Clear formatting | Format > Clear Formatting | | Emoji and symbols | Ctrl+Cmd+Space | | Undo | Cmd+Z | | Redo | Cmd+Shift+Z |

Moving around

| What you want | Shortcut | | --- | --- | | Search this screen | Cmd+F | | Open Settings | Cmd+, | | New tab | Cmd+T | | Close the tab | Cmd+W | | Close the window | Cmd+Shift+W | | Next tab | Ctrl+Tab | | Previous tab | Ctrl+Shift+Tab | | Jump to a tab | Cmd+1 through Cmd+9 | | Back | Cmd+[ | | Forward | Cmd+] |

Closing the window leaves TALISK_HQ running in the menu bar, so mail keeps arriving. Click the TALISK_HQ icon there to bring it back.

Reading the screen

| What you want | Shortcut | | --- | --- | | Zoom in | Cmd+= | | Zoom out | Cmd+- | | Back to normal size | Cmd+0 | | Full screen | Ctrl+Cmd+F |

In the inbox

These work when you are looking at the message list and not typing in a box.

| What you want | Key | | --- | --- | | Archive | e | | Reply | r | | Write a new message | c | | Move down the list | j | | Move up the list | k | | Search | / |
