In modern browsers (Internet Explorer 5+, Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Opera 6+ and Netscape 6+), various features of FastMail are accessible through convenient keyboard shortcuts, just as they are in a desktop email program. One of these often-used features is creating a new email.
To compose a new message by keyboard shortcut in FastMail:
- Press Alt-C (Windows, Unix) or Ctrl-C (Mac).
- In Internet Explorer for Windows:
- Hit Return.
- Use the Tab key to jump between the To, Cc, Bcc and Subject fields and the message body.
- Compose your message.
- Press Ctrl-Enter to send the message.
- This last keyboard shortcut does not work in Safari.
