Keyboard shortcuts in Mail
Every key Nemi Mail answers to: moving around, acting on conversations, writing, selecting, going places, and the Screener.

Nemi Mail answers to the keys Gmail taught most people, plus the ones a Mac reaches for. Press ? anywhere in Mail to see them on screen, with a box to find one. On Windows and Linux, use Ctrl where a key below says Cmd, and Alt where it says Option.
- Keys never act while you are typing in a field or in a message.
- A key followed by another, like g then i, is pressed one after the other, not together. After g, Mail shows where it can take you.
- z takes back the last thing you did to a conversation, for up to 15 minutes, the same as Undo in the notification. A message still waiting to be sent is taken back first.
- F6 moves between the sidebar, the search box, the list, the open conversation and a message you are writing.
- Settings, General, Single-key shortcuts turns off every key that is a single letter, number or symbol, for voice control or if you press them by accident. Everything with Cmd, the arrows, Return, Esc and F6 keeps working.
