Discover Google Applications’ Keyboard Shortcuts by Typing Question Mark ‘?’

Actually, the headline says it all.

Type question mark (press SHIFT + ?) when using Google applications such as Google Reader or Gmail, and a list of available keyboard shortcuts will appear!

(In Gmail you have to enable shortcuts first. Go to settings > general > Keyboard shortcuts > Keyboard shortcuts on)

    Hi Eyal.
    I just found about your site on
    http://wordpressgarage.com/news-views/review-of-wordcamp-israel-2008/
    And jumped by to say:
    1) I too am into “productivity” – so COOL
    2) find me on facebook: “tal galili” (your name there are too many)
    3) add two pages: “about” and “contact me”. and add them in the sidebar.
    Also add the plugin “subscribe to comments”

    Cheers!

    Hey Michael,

    My mistake, it should have said “press SHIFT +?” (And NOT CTRL). please try again.

    (And be sure to enable the keyboard shortcuts option as I instructed.)

    Sorry Eyal but it doesn’t work. I tried the Maxthon browser as well as IE but still no response to my SHIFT+? (And the “Keyboard shortcuts on” is on).
