There’s been a few conversations here in the community about wanting to use keyboard shortcuts or hotkeys in Smokeball to quickly get something done without extra mouse clicks. For example, CTRL+S to save CTRL+F to find something are pretty common ones in other software.

We know @atharkhan would love to use keyboard shortcuts when tagging emails and @JKibler to open and save a memo. Our own @Sara Sultan loves them, and can probably teach us all a thing or two!

Do you use keyboard shortcuts too? What would use use them for?

Answer our poll and put in your suggestions in the comments or send us a feature suggestion - we love hearing your thoughts.

(and, if you’re wondering what’s currently possible in Smokeball, @leonzhou gave an example) 

Would you use hotkeys or keyboard shortcuts if they were available in Smokeball?

    I am currently getting around this by using mouse macros.  But, having a built-in shortcut would be awesome.

      Where can I find a list of the current functioning Hotkeys?
