Google Talk is one of my favorite applications: it’s light, unobtrusive and you can store your old conversations in Gmail. But I realised I wasn’t using it as well as I could, so I looked for some keyboard shortcuts. Here’s a few:
Text
CTRL + R Right align text
CTRL + E Center align text
CTRL + L Left align text
Spacing
CTRL + 1 For single spaced lines
CTRL + 2 For double spaced lines
CTRL + 5 For 1.5 spaced lines
Function keys
F9 Send an email to the contact you’re chatting with
F11 Start a voice chat with the contact
F12 Cancel the current call
Other
ESC Close the current window
ALT + ESC Close all Google Talk windows
WINDOWS + Esc Open Google Talk if minimized, or behind other windows
Tab/CTRL+Tab/Ctrl+i Cycle through open windows
Shift+Tab Cycle backwards through open windows
