"Learn Wave’s Keyboard Shortcuts
Every good webapp has a full set of keyboard shortcuts for getting around and performing the most common actions, and happily Google Wave is no exception. While Wave is still missing common shortcuts (j/k, please?), there are a few you must know now. Here are the ones to learn first:

  • Arrow keys: Move up/down within a list of waves, and left/right from inbox to open wave panel with your arrow keys.
  • Spacebar: Go to the next unread wave in a list
  • Ctrl+E: Edit a selected wave
  • Shift+Enter (in edit mode): Finish editing your wave; equivalent to clicking the “Done” button
  • Enter: Add a reply to a selected wave directly under it
  • Shift+Enter (in view mode): Add a reply to the bottom of a list of waves"

Tofi, i got some food inside me and instantly remembered the name of the thing on the right, you know, that makes your wave go up and down…

It’s a scrollbar! This is without a doubt my most embarrassing moment :smack: :o

Thanks for the shortcuts! Will test them out soon :slight_smile:

Thanks for the shortcuts Tofi… I knew a couple, but the list is useful.
I’ve just corrected some items where the original author refers to parts of a wave as a wave itself. This can be confusing.

One more shortcut... Ctrl+n where n can be a number from 1 to 4 will make the current line in a blip/message turn into a heading level n - e.g. ctrl+2 will turn the current line in a blip to heading level 2.
