I have updated Ty Myrick's excellent GmailKeys script to work with Outlook 2013. This script should also work with Outlook 2010 by toggling the comment marks on the appropriate IfWinActive lines (tho I have not tested any of the new functionality in 2010).
Programatic Changes:
- IfWinActive line now looks for "- Outlook" rather than "- Microsoft Outlook"
- CtrlList now includes “OutlookGrid1” and “OutlookGrid2” (in addition to SUPERGRID1 and SUPERGRID2)
Hotkey Changes:
- Added Delete functionality using # key (+3)
- Added Report Spam functionality using ! key (+1)
- Enabled folder move functionality using v key
- Changed message flagging (starring) using s key - now defaults to follow-up flag, rather than popping up the dialog box
Caveates:
- For Archive functionality to work properly, you must set the Archive Quickstep to use Crtl+Shift+1 as the optional shortcut key.
- For Label/Categorize functionality to work, you must add the Categorize button to the Quick Access Toolbar in the third position.
- For Spam/Block functionality to work, you must add the Block Sender button to the Quick Access Toolbar in the fourth position.
Hope you like it!
