I learned that ⇧⌘L in mail.app should toggle the flag of a selected message. However, it doesn't work for me... I'm using Snow Leopard and Mail 4.5. Any ideas?

  • The problem in my case was that there was a conflict between the cmd-shift-l of mail.app and cmd-l which I use to change the input language... Thanks for the help!

In Lion the shortcut is exactly that and you can actually take a look at the menu:

Make sure you're using the right one. If you wanted to alter those, you'd have to go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts and add a new one:

  • @Dror I know you were using Snow Leopard (I actually added the tag to your question) but I was suspecting that you had a Keyboard Shortcut conflict, and hence why I posted the info. Glad you fixed it.

  • Somehow I didn't understand it from your answer... I thought it was Lion oriented. Anyway - thanks for the hint and help!

cmd-L was set as the input source shortcut. This caused a conflict with the cmd-shift-L of mail.app. Once I have changes the input source shortcut (to cmd-M) and restarted mail.app everything worked as expected.
