title: Keyboard shortcuts
description: Every keyboard shortcut in mail, calendar and drive, and the shortcut for switching workspaces.
---

Mail, calendar and drive each have their own shortcuts. Most of them are two keys pressed one after the other: a prefix letter for the section, then a second key.

## How shortcuts work

- **Press the prefix, then the key.** Press **m** in mail, **c** in calendar or **d** in drive, then press the second key within about 1.5 seconds. For example, **m** then **i** opens the inbox. While the prefix is active, a hint shows the keys you can press.
- **A wrong second key does nothing.** If you press the prefix and then a key with no shortcut, nothing happens.
- **Mail, calendar and drive shortcuts pause while you type.** They do nothing while you are typing in a field, such as a search box or the message editor. Switching workspaces with **Alt** and a number still works.
- **Press ? for help.** In mail, calendar and drive, **?** shows or hides the **Keyboard shortcuts** dialog for that section. Press **Esc** or click **Close** to close it.
- **There is no command palette.** Use the shortcuts below, or the buttons on screen.

## Everywhere

| Keys | Action |
| --- | --- |
| **Alt** + **1** to **9** (**Option** on a Mac) | Switch to the 1st to 9th workspace, in the order of the left rail |

Switching workspaces works on any page and with any keyboard layout. It does nothing if you also hold Ctrl, Cmd or Shift. The help dialog has a list of workspaces only when you belong to more than one. It lists only your first five, but **Alt** with **6** to **9** works too.

## Mail

Press **m**, then:

| Keys | Action |
| --- | --- |
| **m** then **i** | Go to Inbox |
| **m** then **s** | Go to Sent |
| **m** then **d** | Go to Drafts |
| **m** then **f** | Go to Starred |
| **m** then **t** | Go to Trash |
| **m** then **v** | Go to Archive |
| **m** then **p** | Go to Spam |
| **m** then **c** | Compose a new message |
| **m** then **r** | When a message is open, opens a new blank message. It does not fill in a reply. To reply, use the **Reply** button on the message. |
| **m** then **x** | Star or unstar the open message |
| **m** then **u** | Mark the open message read or unread |
| **m** then **e** | Archive the open message |
| **m** then **#** | Delete the open message, without asking first. Most mailboxes move it to Trash; Cloudflare Email and Resend mailboxes, and messages already in Trash on a mail server, are deleted for good. |
| **m** then **/** | Jump to the search box |
| **m** then **a** | Open or close the **Mail AI** panel |

Without a prefix:

| Keys | Action |
| --- | --- |
| **j** or **n** | Open the next message in the list, and mark it read |
| **k** or **p** | Open the previous message in the list |
| **Esc** | Close the message editor, or the help dialog |

## Calendar

Press **c**, then:

| Keys | Action |
| --- | --- |
| **c** then **d** | Day view |
| **c** then **w** | Week view |
| **c** then **m** | Month view |
| **c** then **y** | Year view |
| **c** then **s** | Schedule view |
| **c** then **t** | Go to today |
| **c** then **n** | New event, starting at the next full hour |
| **c** then **r** | Refresh the calendar |
| **c** then **a** | Open or close the **Calendar AI** panel |

Without a prefix:

| Keys | Action |
| --- | --- |
| **j** or **n** | Next day, week, month or year, depending on the view |
| **k** or **p** | Previous day, week, month or year |

## Drive

Press **d**, then:

| Keys | Action |
| --- | --- |
| **d** then **n** | New folder |
| **d** then **u** | Upload files |
| **d** then **s** | Jump to the search box |
| **d** then **l** | List view |
| **d** then **g** | Grid view |
| **d** then **r** | Go to the top of the drive |
| **d** then **h** | Go to All drives |
| **d** then **p** | Preview the selected file |
| **d** then **a** | Open or close the **Drive AI** panel |

Without a prefix:

| Keys | Action |
| --- | --- |
| **j** or **n** | Go forward to the next folder in your history |
| **k** or **p** | Go back to the previous folder in your history |

In drive, **j** and **k** move through the folders you have visited, like a browser's back and forward buttons. They do not move a selection. Your history is kept when you switch between drives.
