Gmail Keyboard Shortcuts, Keyboard shortcuts With Gmail, Gmail Tips And Tricks:
Today I was checking the settings section of my gmail to do some changes in my profile. I happened to notice an interesting option called keyboard shortcuts under General Section Of Settings.
There was an option named keyboard shortcuts. It was the second option below the Maximum page size. I took some time to explore its details. Here is an interesting article on keyboard shortcuts in gmail.
The option keyboard shortcuts is set to keyboard shortcut off by default. If we make changes to it and click on save changes.
To my surprise I again disabled it, saved the changes and tried shortcuts. It still worked fine. I did a log off and after that keyboard shortcut didn't work. Same thing happened when I enabled this, saved it and tried a shortcut. I had to logout and login again.
As a conclusion, whenever you many any changes to settings parameter, save it, you need to logout and login again for changes to take effect.
So, start by clicking on keyboard shortcut on. Save the changes. Perform a logout. Login again.
Now coming to some interesting shortcut option
