For sending a mail, I am bound to the key combination CMD+Enter (⌘↵ ). Of course the Mac OSX default mail application, Mail.app uses something else.

I won’t even spend time on finding out the combination for sending mail using 3 keys so I get tendonitis after 5 emails sent.

There is an easy way to create shortcuts for basically everything in Mac OSX. Let’s set up ⌘↵ for sending emails in Mail.app. To do this, let’s open up System Preferences and select the Keyboard section.

Select Mail.app in the Application dropdown menu

After selecting Mail.app in the Application dropdown menu, the Menu Title: Send
and the Keyboard Shortcut is: ⌘↵.
