You know how in Google Chrome if you type in "youtube" or "google" into the address bar followed by the TAB key, you can automatically search on those platforms directly?

**Google Keep doesn't include this by default BUT you can achieve this Custom Search for Google Keep in a few simple steps:**

1. Go to your Google Chrome settings > Search engine > Manage search engines
2. Add a Search engine
3. Input: Search engine = Keep  
Keyword = keep  
URL = https://keep.google.com/u/0/#search/text%3D%s

Now you can type "keep" into your Google Chrome address bar followed by TAB and search your Google Keep notes for any keyword you want!

## ⌨️ Keyboard shortcut - "L" for list

On Google Keep, press "L" to quickly start a new list (I use this mainly at work when there are multiple items I need to be grouped together)

- For example, when I'm planning a campaign, I quickly note down all the teams I need to communicate with: sales, product, growth, specialist, and marketing, and check each one off as I send off emails asking for a meeting
