Desktop Users: Not-so-well-known Keyboard Shortcuts for YouTube & Gmail

YouTube Shortcuts

• When on youtube, hit ‘f’ to toggle fullscreen
• Click the cogwheel - Speed option to zoom through tutorial videos — or use ‘>’
• Warning: Time waster: Search for ‘360 video’ and get a Google Cardboard to view the videos in virtual reality for about $10

Gmail Shortcuts

• Go to Settings > Enable Undo Send to give yourself time to undo an email after you hit send
• Hit the ? key (Shift + ‘/’) to get a list of shortcuts, Enable the ‘Action’ shortcuts

Most useful shortcuts are as follows (you can use the shortcuts as you’re reading an email or on the inbox page selecting an email via checkboxes):

• E : archive the message
• Shift + i : Mark as read
• Shift + u : Mark as unread

Extra Tip: SMS stuff to your phone

If you have unlimited text plan: send quick reminders to yourself with these emails

• T-Mobile: [10digit#]@tmomail.net
• AT&T: [10digit#]@mms.att.net
• Verizon: [10digit#]@vzwpix.com
