You can get around Rookery without the mouse. The most useful key is `⌘K`. It opens a box where you can jump to any place, or search your mail.

## Use ⌘K

1. Press `⌘K` on a Mac, or `Ctrl+K` on Windows. You can also click **Jump anywhere** in the sidebar, or tap the search icon on your phone.
2. Start typing. The list narrows to places that match, like **Today**, **Bills**, an inbox or a tag.
3. Use the arrow keys to pick one, and press `Enter` to go there.
4. To search your mail instead, pick **Search mail for** with your words at the end of the list.
5. Press `Esc` to close the box.

## All the shortcuts

- `⌘K` or `Ctrl+K`: search, or jump anywhere
- `c`: write a new email
- `/`: put your cursor in the search box
- `?`: show the shortcuts
- `Esc`: close a dialog or sheet
- `⌘Enter` or `Ctrl+Enter`: send the email or reply you're writing, or add the note you're typing

## Good to know

- Single-key shortcuts like `c` and `/` don't fire while you're typing in a box, so you won't start an email by accident.
- `⌘K` works even while you're typing.
- Mail search looks at the subject, the sender and the message. It matches the start of each word, so "inv" finds "invoice".
- If a place matches what you typed, `Enter` opens that place. Use the arrow keys to reach **Search mail for** at the bottom.
- In `⌘K`, **Needs your yes** shows how many drafts are waiting for you.
