Keyboard shortcuts

Move through your mail without the mouse — navigate, read, reply, archive, and delete from the keyboard, plus the command palette.

Mailtidy 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

Command palette

Press K (macOS) or CtrlK to open the palette — switch views, jump to an account, open a folder, and run common actions from one place.

KeyAction
j / Move to the next message
k / Move to the previous message
EnterOpen the first conversation when none is selected
EscClear the current selection
/Focus the search bar
cCompose 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:

KeyAction
rReply
eArchive / Unarchive
uMark read / unread
#Move to Trash

Compose

KeyAction
Enter / CtrlEnterSend
EscClose the compose window

More shortcuts (forward, reply-all, snooze, and a help overlay) are on the way as those features land.
