We have two buttons to switch between normal view & reading view in Outlook but F1 doesn't have any entry about what key we could use to switch between these buttons.
Anyone know about it?

1There does not seem to be a keyboard shortcut and since Outlook doesn't have the same macro capabilities as Word/Excel, this will be challenging. Nevertheless, some clever AutoHotkey could get the job done. I'll give this a shot later. :)– iglvzxJun 21, 2012 at 3:35

@iglvzx Have you attempted this yet?– DougApr 16, 2013 at 14:14

You can use AltF1 to cycle between normal/reading views.

3No, Alt-F1 does not cycle between Normal/Reading views. It cycles the Navigation Pane (the far-left column in the screenshot) between Normal/Minimized/Off. Similarly, Alt-F2 cycles the To-Do Bar (far right pane), and Ctrl-F1 cycles the Ribbon Bar. While useful, it takes all three shortcuts combined to mimic the Reading view.– DougApr 16, 2013 at 14:21
By accident I found out that ALT+FN+2 works as an On/Off toggle for this for me.

Fnkey is not standardized. It exists only on laptops and does different things on different models. In this caseFn+2is producing some mystery key press andAlt+MysteryKeydoes what you want - but we don't know what theMysteryKeyis so this is only useful for users with laptops similar to yours. Are there any extra symbols on the2key? Mar 4, 2021 at 10:13 -
@gronstaj Fn keys also are on many Desktop computers. They often are used to bypass custom keyboard settings from the manufacturer. -- Eric this is likely specific to your computer. You should specify which computer and OS you are using. Mar 4, 2021 at 13:49
