Commonly used keyboard shortcuts for mail and calendar (Macintosh)
You can save time and effort by using some common keyboard shortcuts in the mail and calendar applications.

Remember that mail messages are IBM Lotus Notes documents and the calendar is a view, so for a more extensive list of shortcuts you can use in mail and calendar, refer to the keyboard shortcut tables for documents or views.

Note: In any form, view, page, or document there could be several embedded elements (the date picker in the calendar is an example of an embedded element). You can navigate to an embedded element, give focus within the embedded element, and then remove the focus to continue navigating through the form, view, page, or document. When focus is in an embedded element, the thin black frame around it disappears. When focus is removed from an embedded element, the thin black frame reappears.
