Prints the highlighted item or the open message. On Windows a print pane appears first and one more Enter sends it straight to the printer, so a habitual double press prints unchecked.

These combinations are the installed Outlook app; Outlook on the web keys differ, and its Settings even ask you to pick between the Outlook, Gmail and Yahoo layouts.

Reading the key names

  • Keys joined by + are pressed together: Ctrl+Shift+P means hold Ctrl and Shift, then P.
  • On a Mac, Cmd is ⌘, Option is ⌥ (labelled Alt on some keyboards), Control is ⌃ and Shift is ⇧.
  • Windows Ctrl usually becomes Cmd on a Mac, but not always — this reference lists both combinations separately.
  • With a Korean, Japanese or Chinese input method active, shortcuts built on letter keys may not fire. Switch to Latin input and try again.
  • When a combination does nothing, another program has often claimed it as a global shortcut first.
