I made this page of keyboard shortcuts for the Superhuman email app. I use it on my Mac, but Superhuman is also available as an email client for iOS. I have it on my iPhone and iPad.

Why You Should Learn to Use Keyboard Shortcuts

Taking an hour or two to learn keyboard shortcuts for your favorite apps and software can make a massive difference in your productivity.

From navigating between browser tabs to finding your computer files quickly, keyboard shortcuts can save you a pretty significant amount of time. 

I decided to try out the incredibly popular email product Superhuman mainly for the speed improvements they promised as a result of these hotkeys. While Gmail does allow for certain keyboard shortcuts in their native apps, Superhuman makes it pretty dang easy to go through your inbox at light speed.  

More Information

  • Command Center in Superhuman: all I have to do is hit CMD+K and the command center pops up immediately giving me a handful of actions to perform. 
  • Often I can go through dozens of emails in just a few minutes without ever touching my mouse, which is pretty great. I can also easily set a certain message to pop back in my inbox at a given time, all with just a few keystrokes. (CTRL + H, I think)
  • New users: Although Superhuman is primarily geared toward email power users, I see more and more of my friends giving it a try. 

Conclusion

Superhuman is one of my favorite apps I’ve tried in the last few years. If you’re on Mac, I can’t recommend it enough. I made this page because I searched on Google for this resource and couldn’t find anything easy. Hope this helps!

P.S. If you want to try Superhuman with a paid trial ($30 a month) and use Mac or iOS, just email me and I can send you an invite.
