1@BaljeetsinghSucharia - let's just close as a duplicate, given that the original was specifically for version 2010, and this was asked for 2007 :) – warren – 2014-03-14T19:04:04.287

@warren Question for your question : shortcut to accept meeting request from where ? when you have opened the meeting request OR when you are checking inbox and from mail list you want to accept ? – Baljeetsingh – 2014-03-15T01:25:59.083

@BaljeetsinghSucharia - either and/or both – warren – 2014-03-17T14:10:01.137

just a thought , do you think and/or both should be updated to question to remove the duplicate flag ? assuming that was your intention – Baljeetsingh – 2014-03-17T19:12:08.810

IMO, there are two ways you can accept a meeting request.

  1. when you are browsing list mail (and invite isn't opened)
  2. wen you have opened the invite

for 1) When the meeting invite is the focused email

  • press SHIFT + F10 this will open the context menu(right click menu of invite)
  • now press C again C and ENTER
  • now use common response key

for 2)

As you already know ,

  • can use ALT + H to navigate to ribbon
  • C to do the click effect on pull out accept response option
  • now use common response key

Common Response Key

both ways post you select accept you can use any of following to respond

  • E Edit the response before sending.
  • S Send the response now.
  • D Don't send a response.
