Keyword Shortcut to Create Outlook Email Reminders

I’m not a big fan of using keyword shortcuts but with the number of emails I have to deal with and set reminders, I particularly like using this shortcut key to flag or set a reminder on the email.

I find this much easier than either finding the right button on the ribbon or right-clicking on the email.

It’s simple:

  • Select the email in your inbox (or any other folder)
  • Press CTRL+SHIFT+G to display the following screen:

  • Add a flag or reminder and click OK.

I hope you find this tip useful.
