Apple Mail.app sending mail using CMD+Enter (⌘↵ )

in #osx7 years ago (edited)

For sending a mail, I am bound to the key combination CMD+Enter (⌘↵ ). Of course the Mac OSX default mail application, Mail.app uses something else.

I won’t even spend time on finding out the combination for sending mail using 3 keys so I get tendonitis after 5 emails sent.

There is an easy way to create shortcuts for basically everything in Mac OSX. Let’s set up ⌘↵ for sending emails in Mail.app. To do this, let’s open up System Preferences and select the Keyboard section.

Go for the Shortcuts tab in the top menu.

Select App Shortcuts from the list on the left of the screen and then click the + button underneath the list of current shortcuts.

After selecting Mail.app in the Application dropdown menu, the Menu Title: Send
and the Keyboard Shortcut is: ⌘↵.

Click Add and enjoy sending mails like you did in Thunderbird, Gmail or any other mail application.
