Learn Wave’s Keyboard Shortcuts
Every good webapp has a full set of keyboard shortcuts for getting around and performing the most common actions, and happily Google Wave is no exception. While Wave is still missing common shortcuts (j/k, please?), there are a few you must know now. Here are the ones to learn first:
* Arrow keys: Move up/down within a list of waves, and left/right from inbox to open wave panel with your arrow keys.
* Spacebar: Go to the next unread wave in a list
* Ctrl+E: Edit a selected wave
* Shift+Enter (in edit mode): Finish editing your wave; equivalent to clicking the “Done” button
* Enter: Add a reply to a selected wave directly under it
* Shift+Enter (in view mode): Add a reply to the bottom of a list of waves

Like an excited little kid on his birthday, I practically squealed when I synced my mobile phone’s email client with my Gmail account and saw that a certain correspondent whose email ID was “wave-noreply@google.com” had sent me an email with the subject line “Your invitation to preview Google Wave”. I jumped out of bed, turned on my laptop and accepted the invite and started Wave-ing. It’s been a couple of hours since I woke up and I took a break only to brush my teeth and wash my face. I have been Wave-ing since seven in the morning (here).
Here, I present a visual journey through Wave, captured with screenshots. Since I have no contacts associated in Wave, I cannot tell you how it works as a collaboration platform. It does, however, look very interesting. So without further ado, here are the screenshots with explanations. Click through each picture to see a larger version.
