Google Wave Important Keyboard Shortcuts.

Well Google wave is here and with invitations rolling out faster than ever,most people are still wondering how to use Google wave the phenomenon they have been waiting for so long. Well with no time to write the ful review of wave(which i will do soon) or the wave guide. Here is a list of some important keyboard shortcuts that can make google wave twice faster for you.

1. Arrow keys: Use the up/down arrow keys to navigate though waves or messages inside wave or the left/ right keys to to navigate among the three panels inside the wave.
2. Spacebar : It gets hard to find a unread message as it grows long. But, if you just press spacebar while inside a wave than it takes you to the next unread/new message inside a wave and it very handy
3. Enter : Do you find it irritating to use ur mouse, click below a mesage to open up the reply box and type the message ? Then this one is for you. You can just hit enter at any message and the reply box would open below it at the same level.
4. Shift + Enter : Press this key combination inside a wave to reply at the bottom of the messages at the same level. Or if you already typing a message then hit the same key combination to submit it.
5. Ctrl  + E : When on a message inside a wave just hit this combination to edit  it.
6. Others : Other keyboad shortcuts like ctrl + B for bold text etc or the Esc. Key to exit etc work inside the wave too.

These shortcuts are enough to help you have a mouse free wave experience which is very important as i hate using mouse especially that track pad on the laptop.Of course there are a lots of shortcuts in wave but these are the basic ones which would make your life easier on wave without making your head go dizzy.  So, Untill my next post Happy Waving.

You can even reply here if you have a google wave account but try not to destroy the tutorial.
Also dont ask me for google wave invites. I dont have any. As soon as i have, i will let you know.
