Indents, Tabs, And Lists – How Do I Set The Tab Key In Gmail

How to indent a bulleted list in Gmail message editor with Mac, Chrome & Finnish keyboard?

Bulleted list can be toggled with Shift+⌘+8 -> Works OK.

Watching: Indents, tabs, and lists

Gmail editor”s button has tooltip with shortcuts ⌘+< (indent) ⌘+> (de-indent). However, I haven”t been able to succesfully do that since in Mac Chrome those shortcuts are mapped for for History -> Back & History -> Forward

Something I”ve tried:

Plain < & > can be entered with Alt+7 & Alt+8 on my keyboard⌘+< & ⌘+>: History -> Back & History -> ForwardAlt+⌘+7 / Alt+⌘+8 : NothingShift+Alt+⌘+7 / Shift+Alt+⌘+7 : Selects previous/next tab⌘+7 : Changes to 7th tab⌘+/ (in Finnish keyboard ⌘+Shift7) : Opens “Help” menu at Mac menu bar.

Not so crucial but would speed up email writing every now and then.

Shift + option + 8

For some reason, that does not work for me (macOS Sierra & Finnish keyboard layout). I get a bullet by pressing following keys:

Shift + option + .

I hope this helps if anybody else has same problem.

To indent further inside, you press Tab.

To indent outside, i.e. to decrease indent, you just press Enter with the bullet being empty.
