Hello,

Is there any method to enable Gmail Keyboard shortcuts to all users?
gam user <username>|group <groupname>|ou <ouname>|all users shortcuts on|off

and in the GAM cheatsheet, but GAM doesn't seem to recognize the "shortcuts" command. Are those invalid commands? is there any way we can enable keyboard shortcuts to all users at once?

Thanks!

Right, there's no API to enable keyboard shortcuts any longer. I'm of the opinion that a) power users who use keyboard shortcuts should be able to find the setting to enable them. b) enabling keyboard shortcuts for non-power users is only going to cause support troubles ("the email just disappeared!!!")

You are probably right, the idea was to send user tips from time to time about useful keyboard shortcuts.
We will add a part on how to enable this setting, if the user was unable to understand and enable it then probably it is better if they do not use it.

Thanks,
