How to Go to Any Label or View Fast in Gmail

It's great how Gmail takes us to views like the Inbox (g + i) and Drafts (g + d) with two quick taps on a key. But, alas, we have labels, too, and the g + key trick does not work. Fortunately, Gmail has another trick up its sleeve. With another handy keyboard combination, it lets you type just a label's first letters and navigate to it swiftly.

Go to Any Label or View Fast in Gmail

To open any label or view swiftly in Gmail:-

1. Make sure Go to label is enabled (see below).
2. Press g followed by l.
3. Start typing the label or view's name.
4. Select the desired label from the menu.
5. Press 's', for example, and use the up and down key to highlight Sent Mail, Spam or Starred.
6. Gmail looks for the typed characters at the beginning of words, even if they appear in the middle of a label's name. Typing 'm', for example, finds All Mail and Sent Mail as well as my-mail, for instance.
7. Press Enter.
8. To enable Gmail's Go to label:
9. Follow the Settings link in Gmail's top navigation bar.
10. Go to Labs.
11. Make sure Enable is selected under Go to label.
12. Click Save Changes.
