# Keyboard shortcuts

## Conversation window <a href="#conversation_window" id="conversation_window"></a>

This is a list of keyboard shortcuts that are available in Thunderbird with brief descriptions of what they do.

{% hint style="info" %}
Depending on your OS, the **Command** key may be **Ctrl**.
{% endhint %}

**Command + F** Find

**Escape** to put the conversation on hold

**Command + W** to close the current tab

**Command + Shift + H** for History (Show Logs)

**Command + \[Plus key], Command + \[Minus key]** - sets the Zoom level

**Command + 0** - resets the zoom level to 100%. (Use the 0 key in the top row of the keyboard, not the 0 key of the numeric keypad.)

## Scrolling the conversation

**Shift + PgUp/PgDn** scrolls a page up or down

**Home/End** or **Alt + PgUp/PgDn** scrolls to the previous/next section. Sections are

* the beginning and end of the conversation
* the beginning or end of a session (in the log viewer)
* the first non-context message
* the unread message ruler.

**When the textbox is empty**, the usual navigation keys (**cursor keys, PgUp/Dn, ...**) will scroll the conversation view also from the textbox.

## Contact list <a href="#contact_list" id="contact_list"></a>

**Command + Arrow Up, Command + Arrow Down** to switch between conversations

**Command + Shift + Arrow Up, Command + Shift + Arrow Down** to switch between unread conversations

More available shortcuts are listed in the menu next to the commands.
