I feel like an old grandpa trying to use a computer, but I legit can’t find this anywhere and I used to use it often.

If I’m composing a message, when I’m done, I used to press cmd+return to send the message. One of many little QOL things for me that involve using the keyboard rather than the mouse wherever possible or practical. The closest reference I’ve been able to find as a replacement is cmd+shift+D to “send emails” which is both less convenient and also a bit vague. I want to send this email, as in the one I’m composing or which has window focus right now. Is ‘send emails’ all emails? Like all open windows if you’ve got a couple of drafts on the go? All drafts including those that aren’t open as well?

Is there a new key command for what cmd+return used to do?

    Yeh I found someone’s stack exchange post with that very idea. I’ve gone ahead and done that but the result is weird. Like that person, despite the command being explicitly set as cmd+return, it has somehow been changed to cmd+shift+return, something I was only aware of because of that guy complaining about it. but worse still, on some obscure occasions, the app will refuse to do even that, and in fact on those occasions, refuse to accept even it’s official command of cmd+shift+D. I could no figure out what Mail’s problem was on those occasions, getting only a warning chime but not explanation. I assumed there was something wrong in the sender field, but clicking the send icon worked fine so it’s just WTF? Oh well, I’m content with cmd+shift+enter for those occasions when Mail feels like it. Can’t do much about when it doesn’t.
