Single-letter shortcuts work whenever you're reading and no text field has focus. Press ? in the app to see this list, or ⌘/Ctrl + k to search every command by name. On macOS, ⌘/Ctrl means ⌘; on Linux and Windows it means Ctrl.
Shortcuts follow the current view: Shift + n creates an event in Calendar or a contact in Contacts, and s stars a file in Files. In Calendar, t returns to today; elsewhere it switches the right column between the conversation’s details and the Schedule.
In Mail, archive, trash, spam, read, star, and label shortcuts act on checked conversations when any are checked. ⌘/Ctrl + a selects the visible conversations when focus is in the mail list, and Escape clears the selection. Selecting text in an email or editing field keeps its normal behavior.
Outside editing fields, z or ⌘/Ctrl + z undoes the latest eligible mail action, task completion, or pending send. Editing fields keep normal text undo. In Contacts, ⌘/Ctrl + Enter saves your contact edits.
