Many experts say that we can be more productive if we leave our hands on the keyboard... instead of moving between the mouse and the keyboard. Personally I don't think it matters much.
You'll gain a few seconds each time you need to move your hands but lets be realistic… we're not so productive that the few seconds will make any difference… even if we add up all the times we move our hands during the day.
That being said… here is a list of keyboard shortcuts that I actually use REGULARLY.
CTRL-SHIFT-I: Go to Inbox
CTRL-SHIFT-O: Go to Outbox
CTRL-SHIFT-M: Create a new email
CTRL-SHIFT-K: Create a new Task
CTRL-SHIFT-A: Create a new Appointment (I don't use this much as I like to see my Calendar before scheduling an appointment)

an other keyboard shortcut I am using every day is control+; (semicolumn). when reading my mail messages, it just opens the next message
Also:
Ctrl-Shft-F Find
Ctrl-Shift-C New Contact
CTRL-Enter to send email
I use these regularly:
CTRL-F -- Forward message
CTRL-R -- Reply to message
CTRL-SHIFT-R -- Reply to all
I regularly use:
Control+G to go to a specific date in Calendar.
Control+P to print any item.
All of these avoid using a mouse which makes the task faster and easier on my old wrist.
Cheers,
Bill
I've always used CTRL-P for printing. I am so glad to learn about these other shortcuts - especially those sent in by those who commented on your blog.
This is very informative. I an at the present using Windows live mail, and I think its great. Do any of these tips pertain to it? Thank you, whitefeather
