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
