Front keyboard shortcuts

Overview

Front supports many keyboard shortcuts to help you get work done faster 🙌

We also try to stick to Gmail conventions when possible. To enable or disable shortcuts, navigate to Settings, click My preferences, and toggle on or off Gmail shortcuts.

When shortcuts are turned on, you can view the list of shortcuts on the Keyboard shortcuts page of the right-hand integrations panel.

Intro - Move to Bcc shortcut

Command + Shift + A

This shortcut is helpful for when you are included in email introductions, and the original sender no longer needs to receive the subsequent messages. This shortcut automates, in one step, the usual steps you would take in this situation: 

1. Moves the last sender from the From field into the Bcc field
2. Adds the new contact(s) being introduced into the To field
3. Inserts a message that says, "Thanks, [first_name]! Moving you to Bcc." 

Canned responses

You can save up to 5 favorite canned responses in your My preferences section in Settings. Once you've set your canned response shortcuts, trigger them by typing Command/Ctrl + Shift + 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 in the composer.
