<title>Shortcut keys</title>

<p>This page provides an overview of keyboard shortcuts that can help you
use <app>Evolution</app> more efficiently.</p>

<note style="tip">
<p>In addition to the shortcuts listed below, you can also use accelerators to navigate with the keyboard.</p> 
<p>Hold down the <key>Alt</key> key to reveal <em>accelerators</em>:
underlined letters on menu items, buttons, and other controls. Press
<key>Alt</key> plus the underlined letter to activate a control, just
as if you had clicked on it.</p>

<p><key>Space</key> and <key>Backspace</key> also allow navigating in unread mail across folders:</p>
<list>
<item><p>When you press the Spacebar for the first time, it takes you to the next unread message.</p></item>
<item><p>If the message is more than one screen long, <key>Space</key> works as <key>Page Down</key>.</p></item>
<item><p>If you press <key>Space</key> after you reach the bottom of the page, it takes you to the next unread message.</p></item>
<item><p>If there are no more unread messages in the mailbox, pressing <key>Space</key> takes you to the next unread message in the next folder.</p></item>
<item><p>If new messages arrive in a number of folders, <key>Space</key> toggles between those folders. This feature allows you to switch to the next unread message in a different folder without clicking the folder.</p></item>
<item><p><key>Backspace</key> has the same behavior but reverted: It scrolls up in a message and can jump to the next unread message in the previous folder.</p></item>
