Is there a keyboard shortcut to replicate clicking in the Search bar in, e.g., Mail, Messages, Finder, and other apps? I know Command-F will search for text within the current, e.g., open email, but I want to search on sender's name, and I'd prefer to do it via keyboard rather than clicking the mouse up in the right-hand corner where the search bar is.
I don't have access to Mail on Monterey at the moment.
This article doesn't indicate there is one, but I normally search for shortcuts in the menus.
Pull down a menu (probably Edit), then hold down each modifier key (Option, Shift, Ctrl). Look for changes in the menus as you hold each one. Continue into the submenus, also.
If you don't find a shortcut listed next to a command, you can create your own custom shortcut for a menu item that doesn't have one. Create keyboard shortcuts for apps on Mac - Apple Support
That's odd that Mail switches the two around. I would expect the search box shortcut to be the same as everything else.
I rarely get an email message that is so large I have to search for something in its contents. Seems that one should be cmd-opt-f.
I submitted feedback to swap the two, but I don't have much faith it will be changed.
Yep, that does it. It's Option-Command-F and is called Mailbox Search. That key combination also works in Finder.
I see to get to the Search bar in Messages, it's regular Command-F.
Many thanks.
Keyboard shortcut for search bar in Mac apps?
