I feel like an old grandpa trying to use a computer, but I legit can’t find this anywhere and I used to use it often.

If I’m composing a message, when I’m done, I used to press cmd+return to send the message. One of many little QOL things for me that involve using the keyboard rather than the mouse wherever possible or practical. The closest reference I’ve been able to find as a replacement is cmd+shift+D to “send emails” which is both less convenient and also a bit vague. I want to send this email, as in the one I’m composing or which has window focus right now. Is ‘send emails’ all emails? Like all open windows if you’ve got a couple of drafts on the go? All drafts including those that aren’t open as well?

Is there a new key command for what cmd+return used to do?

    I’m on a very old OS version so i don’t know what happened to it, but you can add any shortcut you want to any command you can find in the menu bar, for any app. Go to system preferences and in (iirc) accessibility somewhere in there is a place where you can add your own customized key commands.

    This is the shortcut for Outlook and Thunderbird, could it have been you were using a different mail client before?

    I don’t like it either but I just remember D for despatch.

    What I struggle with is the inconsistency in Zoom shortcuts in Apple apps.
