This is a common question I get when friends see the shortcut I have setup on my BlackBerry to only show me my unread messages. These shortcuts are accessible by going into the messages application and selecting ALT+Shortcut_Letter. For example, my unread messages shortcut is ALT+U.
To create a keyboard shortcut to search for unread messages follow these steps:
- From the Home/Main screen, click on Messages.
- Press the S key.
- Change the Show field to Unopened Only.
- Press the Menu button.
- Click Save.
- In the Title field, type a name for the search.
- In the Shortcut Key (Alt +) field, select a shortcut key.
- Press the Menu button.
- Click Save.
To use the shortcut you just press ALT and the shortcut and you will get your saved search. You can always edit the search by pressing S in the messages application, hitting the menu button and selecting Recall.
Let me know if it works out!
