Great cheat sheet, fred! Lots of useful info. I use gmail, and I had no idea about most of these shortcuts.

I agree. These are all new to me!

I have modified the order : now shortcut keys is at the right.. I think it's better like that

Is there a shortcut for "Go to Category"? Ever since Gmail switched to using categories recently, the "Go to label" shortcut doesn't work for categories.
