KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS


Commonly used keyboard shortcuts for Mail and Calendar
The following table is a quick reference guide for some commonly used keyboard shortcuts in Mail and Calendar. Remember that mail memos are Notes documents and the Calendar is a view, so for a more extensive list of shortcuts you can use in Mail and Calendar, refer to the keyboard shortcut tables for documents or views.

Note In any form, view, page, or document there could be several embedded elements (the date picker in the Calendar is an example of an embedded element). You can navigate to an embedded element, give focus within the embedded element, and then remove the focus to continue navigating through the form, view, page, or document. When focus is in an embedded element, the thin black frame around it disappears. When focus is removed from an embedded element, the thin black frame reappears.
