Undocumented GMail Shortcut To Delete Mails

GMail has a very useful undocumented shortcut which allows you to delete mails. Select the required mails in the list and press # key (shift+3) and all the selected message will move to Deleted Items. I tried this shortcut on Microsoft Internet Explorer & Firefox browsers and it worked.

GMail shortcuts work only if Keyboard Shortcuts option is switched on. Follow these steps to enable shortcuts in GMail

  • Click on Settings link
  • Identify Keyboard shortcuts option available in the General Setting tab
  • Choose Keyboard shortcuts on
