Below is my list of Top 15 Outlook keyboard shortcut (for Windows), specifically in the interests of supporting GTD. The list was inspired/based on TechRupublic’s recent post about keyboard shortcuts and David Allen’s eBook on Implementing GTD in Outlook.
- Alt-Tab – Switch between open applications, probably the most under used shortcut within Windows
- <Ctrl+Shift> k – opens new task
- <Ctrl+Shift> n – opens new note
- <Ctrl+Shift> m – opens new email
- <Ctrl+Shift> c – opens new contact
- <Ctrl+Shift> a – opens new appointment
- <Ctrl+Shift> e – creates a new email folder
- <Ctrl+Shift> i – moves you to the email inbox
- <Ctrl+Shift> b – opens your address book
- <Alt> g – opens Category list dialog for a Task, Appointment or Contact, fantastic for GTD users
- <Alt> s – saves a Task, Appointment, Contact, Note or email
- <Alt> i – Find, if you don’t use a Desktop search tool
- <Alt> y – all day event
- <Alt> r – adds/removes reminder, useful when creating an all day event
- <Alt> F1 – show or hide the Outlook Navigation bar
(Ok I know you usually do a top 10 but I needed 15 to fit everything in!)

My fav has always been Control-F, which will FORWARD one of your contacts to someone else.
You have to be in that contact, or have it selected in the contacts view, and then it creates a new e-mail with the vcard as an attachment.
That’s a good one, however I have never used it before. I will next time I need to send a contact details to someone.
Can you please help me out, what is the keyboard shortcut for sending an email
Thanks Debbie
