Gmail: j & k to navigate through conversations (like Vim :D), x to select, e to archive. Say I wanted to label all buzz emails as 'Buzz'. Type '/' to place cursor in search box, type 'Buzz', hit enter, then type '*'+'a' to select all conversations, 'l' to apply label and type 'Buzz' to create the new label :).
Google Reader: j & k just as in Gmail. Or type 'g'+'u', then type 'chu' and enter to go to Chuy's 365 feed, or 'g'+'a' to go to all feeds, and shift+'n' to advance through my list of feeds :).
OS: If I want to check my mail, if in Windows, just win+3, takes me to Chrome, then ctrl+1, takes me to the first tab which is always Gmail. Win+4 to listen to music. Win and then 'gimp' to open gimp. Win+r then 'cmd' to open command prompt. How many gigs of ram does your windows machine have? Just press win+pause and you'll see. Dual monitors? win+p to select which one to use (some of these may only apply to win 7, not sure).
And who can forget good ol' ctrl+c, ctrl+v. :D.
It's so weird that you chose to write about this for your blog today lol cause you know how i told you i broke my gmail in chrome?! well... I was using the j & k to traverse through my conversations. but i guess i was doing it too fast or something and all of a sudden it just stopped working, lol. So screw your shortcuts :P jk. Keyboard shortcuts are awesome.
ReplyDeletelol I use some, but definitely not to this level. That is awesome. I map apps to certain keys though. I mapped our shadowing tools, and the screen shot tool to ctrl+F21, F11, F10, and what not. Pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteoh cool, i never made an effort to learn gmail shortcuts, but now i know! :)
