Gmail Labs Part 2

June 11th, 2008 | by hantu |

This is the second part of my Gmail Labs adventure, see Part 1 here.

Custom Keyboard Shortcut

This feature allows you to change the default keyboard shortcut, to a letter/combo of your choice. You have to enable “Keyboard shortcut” from the Settings.

Then you’re able to change the keyboard combinations from the ‘Keyboard shortcut’ menu under Settings.

Mouse Gestures

So far, I’ve managed to get 3 different mouse gestures, I think that’s it - unless I am missing something. Hold right-click, and move left to go to a previous message; move right to go to the next message; move up to go back to Inbox.

Muzzle

Hides your friends’ status messages.

Email Addict

Take a break from your email, and set your status as invisible. You can “Take a break” from the menu.

Gmail Labs - Email Addict - Menu

The screen will be blocked, as seen below. Press Esc will allow you to use Gmail again.

Old Snakey

Nothing beats a game of Snake! Enable keyboard shortcut, and press ‘&’.
