Add Gmail hotkeys to Outlook

Since Gmail discovered very convenient navigation keys that migrated there from the popular VIM editor, it became obvious that this is the most convenient way to work with mail. But you must agree that it is not necessary to expect compatibility with Gmail from Outlook, and therefore a third-party solution to this problem has come to light.

Gmail Keys for Outlook is a free program for Windows. Since it is a compiled Autohotkey script, then you can take the source text and add it to the script that you are already using. I myself checked its operation in Windows XP Pro SP2 with Outlook 2007 SP1.

The script includes support for the following keys:

• f: forward message
• r: reply to sender
• a: reply to all
• /: focus in the search field
• c: create a new message
• j: go to the next message (below)
• k: go to the previous message (above)
• o: open message
• Shift+j: move lower, highlighting messages
• Shift+k: move higher, highlighting messages
• Shift+i: mark the message as read
• Shift+u: mark the message as unread
• s: flag the message
• v: open the message movement dialog
• Dot(.): open context menu
• y: archiving the message (using the hand-added button on the Outlook panel)

Description you can add a button associated with a macro here (ENG).
