Guys,
Greeting from a Rainy and Damp Cobh.
Well, that is the status for January on the most northern land mass below the Artic Circle!
I know most of you use Gmail through Outlook, but for those still using the web-based interface of Gmail, here is the complete list of keyboard shortcuts for Gmail Standard view.
Basic HTML is due to close on 1 February 2024.
However, below is a link to guide you and to generally help you use Gmail on the web directly with your favourite Screen Reader.
