I was setting up my Gmail account to read another email address when I saw a setting for keyboard shortcuts. I am a big fan of shortcuts that can be shown from previous posts on this matter.
Any process that results in producing an outcome in less steps through a simple combination of keys is a big yes, yes in my book. It’s just the matter of knowing if there is such a combination.
