Keystrokes For Mac Outlook App

  

Outlook

I’m a real “keyboard junkie” and am quite familiar with the keyboard shortcuts that are available in Outlook itself.

Sometimes I use the web based version of Outlook and often forget that it isn’t the Desktop version but was pleasantly surprised that some of the keyboard shortcuts still work.

Is there a list of available keyboard shortcuts for Outlook on the Web?

There are many keyboard shortcuts for the web version of Outlook and even the overview is only a keyboard shortcut away. When you are in your mailbox, just press the question mark (‘?’) character on your keyboard to see them.

You can even adjust the keyboard settings so that they will more closely match with the keyboard shortcuts of Outlook on the Desktop, Gmail or Yahoo.

Steam.app would like to receive keystrokes from any application. I hit Deny since I can't see any good reason why Steam should need this. I can't find any answers, having looked at a thread on Reddit and Apple Support forums.

Common keyboard shortcuts you may want to remember

As they are many keyboard shortcuts available, (directly) remembering them all is probably too much on an effort. Below are the ones I find myself use the most frequent and might be a good start to start using keyboard shortcuts in Outlook and Outlook.com.

As you can see, the Outlook style and Outlook.com style are very similar and I personally prefer the Outlook style.

Not only does the Outlook style include pretty much all Outlook.com keyboard commands, it also gives you easy access to switch between the Mail, Calendar and Contacts Navigation Module in the same way Outlook does.

The biggest change is that the Search command is Alt+Q instead of the a single slash (‘/’). In Outlook Desktop, you can use CTRL+E or F3.
