Use imado from the keyboard

Every key in your inbox and in Setup, how they are put together, and where they work.

Everything you do often in imado has a key: moving through your mail, replying, moving a conversation to Done, adding an address. This page lists every key and where it works. In the app, press ? to see the keys for the page you are on.

How the keys work

  • One letter acts on what is in front of you. E moves the open conversation to Done, and C starts a new message.
  • G, then a letter, takes you somewhere. GI opens your inbox. Press the second key within a second and a half.
  • ? lists the keys for the page you are on.
  • Nothing fires while you type. In a field, a letter is a letter.
  • Your browser's shortcuts stay yours. No key uses Ctrl, ⌘ or Alt, with one exception: ⌘↵ sends, or Ctrl↵ on Windows and Linux.
  • On a phone, there is nothing to learn. The hints beside buttons show only on a computer with a mouse or trackpad. With a keyboard attached to a tablet, the keys still work.
