How to Make Using Gmail Better

Gmail is already a pretty airtight email service without needing any customization. But if you feel like there7;s something left to be desired, there are a few hidden features2;and Chrome extensions2;to make Gmail even better.

Use Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts are designed to make your life easier by creating key combinations to complete some of the most-used actions within a service. A lot of Google products offer keyboard shortcuts including Google Docs, Sheets, Chrome, and Gmail.

While some of Gmail7;s keyboard shortcuts work by default, you need to enable a setting to get full access to them all.

From your Gmail Inbox on the web, click the Settings cog and then select the ;Settings; button.

From the General tab, scroll down to the section labeled ;Keyboard shortcuts; and click the button next to ;Keyboard Shortcuts On.;

Scroll to the bottom of the menu and click ;Save Changes; before you return to your inbox.
