Delete a single email in Gmail™ with a customizable user shortcut (default is Shift + 5).
-= Description =-
Google's Gmail™ has allowed a keyboard shortcut to delete entire message threads (#) for a long time, but it has never made it possible to use a keyboard shortcut to delete individual emails in threads.
Until now.
Enter Delete Key for Gmail™. Press Shift + 5 (% symbol), and voila - only the current individual message is deleted. It performs the same action as clicking the menu button on a message and selecting "Delete this message."
The best part is you can change this shortcut to anything you want from the extension's Options page.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Finally! This will save me so much time by allowing a simple setting to delete gmail. How on earth Google thinks their insane 3 key combination to delete email is helpful is beyond me. This extension works great and I can move though my emails much faster because of it! |

The Delete button works only after an email has been opened up from the inbox. It doesn't work if I were to select the email while in the inbox page (by putting a tick into its checkbox). Can the extension be improved to allow deletion directly in the Inbox? |

The app worked perfectly for me! Thank you SO much! If you're reading this, you likely have already figured out that deleting full conversations (as Gmail does by default), often ends up deleting emails you later realize you wished you kept (i.e. your original sent item, for example). This simple extension makes it easy to delete just a single email in the conversation (using a keyboard shortcut, rather than mousing around to do it). Note (as a previous reviewer pointed out) that the extension only works when actively looking at a specific email (not the full inbox list), but that usage model was perfect for me. |
