Add Hyperlinks In Gmail With A Keyboard Shortcut

Now it does.It’s the exact same keyboard shortcut you use in Word, Outlook, Apple Mail, Google Docs, and nearly every other word processing and email platform. To make the best use of it, select the text you want to turn into a link, hit Ctrl+K, and then paste the URL you want to link to. Now you have a handy hyperlink in your email without the scaring off your recipient with a garbled URL.
