Boosting Email Productivity with Custom Keyboard Shortcuts in Twirly AI

Jul 12, 2025

Keyboard shortcuts can dramatically accelerate email workflows and reduce context switching. Twirly AI offers configurable shortcuts for tasks like generating replies, toggling the AI sidebar, and summarizing threads. By using keystrokes instead of clicks, you maintain focus and speed through repetitive actions.

Shortcuts can be tailored to avoid conflicts with existing Gmail or Chrome bindings. You can assign combinations for functions like “Insert Template,” “Schedule Follow-Up,” or “Start A/B Test.” This empowers power users to execute multi-step tasks with a single keypress.

Training teams on shortcut usage drives consistency and productivity gains organization-wide. Keyboard-driven workflows keep your hands on the keyboard and off the mouse.

To customize shortcuts, open the Twirly AI extension settings in Chrome. The “Shortcuts” tab displays default key bindings you can modify. Click the desired action and press your preferred key combination to reassign it.

Save your configuration and refresh Gmail to activate new shortcuts. The AI sidebar displays shortcut hints for accessible reference. New users can launch an onboarding tutorial to learn common shortcuts quickly.

You can export and share shortcut profiles with teammates for standardized workflows. This customization ensures everyone benefits from streamlined email operations.

Integrate shortcuts with snippet expansion for even greater efficiency. Define text snippets for frequently used phrases, disclaimers, or signature blocks. Trigger snippet insertion with a single keystroke during reply composition.

Twirly AI adjusts formatting and punctuation automatically to fit context. Cycle through snippet variations or dynamic placeholders with shortcuts. This hybrid approach blends AI generation with manual precision and speed. Teams can reduce repetitive typing and focus on high-value communication.

Snippets plus shortcuts create a powerful productivity arsenal in your inbox.

Tracking shortcut adoption helps identify training needs and power users. Twirly AI analytics logs each shortcut use and displays frequency metrics. Identify underutilized features and offer targeted tips or documentation. Recognize superusers who champion efficient workflows. Share top shortcut strategies in team newsletters or workshops.

Continuous optimization of shortcut configs sustains productivity improvements. Encourage experimentation with new bindings to discover hidden efficiencies.

With Twirly AI’s customizable shortcuts, email productivity soars.
