Keyboard shortcuts

Move through Fluxmail without the mouse: the command palette plus a full keyboard shortcut reference.

Fluxmail is built to be driven from the keyboard. There are two ways to do it: the command palette, when you want to search for an action by name, and single-key shortcuts, when your hands are already on the keys.

Press ? anywhere in the app to pull up the same cheat sheet inside Fluxmail, with the keys shown for your operating system.

The command palette

Press Cmd+K (Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux) anywhere in Fluxmail to open the command palette. Start typing and it searches across everything you can do: jump to Home, Newsletters, or Tasks, switch accounts, ask Flux AI, run an action on the email you're reading, open a setting, or create a rule, task, or snippet.

The palette is aware of what you're looking at, so its actions apply to the open thread, your current selection, or the row you have focused. When a command has its own shortcut, the palette shows the keys next to it, so it doubles as a way to learn the ones you use most.

A note on keys

A few shortcuts are sequences: "G then I" means press G, then press I.
