2. A super-mung-bean idea Joen. It’s great for firing off that quick email without having to have the gmail window active - now, if only one could assign a keyboard shortcut to it.

3. now, if only one could assign a keyboard shortcut to it.

   Since it’s JavaScript, I would assume that a myriad of both browser extensions (most likely) and even system extensions can fire off the code.

   Possibly this: http://lifehacker.com/software/feature/hack-attack-mouseless-firefox-139495.php or this: http://lifehacker.com/software/keyboard-shortcuts/

   If nothing else, you can right click your Firefox bookmark, and add a “keyword”, for instance “c”. Then your shortcut is alt+d to the location bar, c and then enter. Not what you’re looking for, but close.

4. ..and if youre using Safari (I assume this works on Windows with a different key command, maybe ctrl?) and its one of your Bookmarks Bar items, it’s just Command+number-from-left.
   So if its the most left hand Bookmarks Bar link item its Command+1 the next over is Command+2, 3, 4 etc etc. Can you all see the Apple? ->  or just Mac users?

10. I use

    javascript:popw='';Q='';x=document;y=window;if(x.selection)%20{Q=x.selection.createRange().text;}%20else%20if%20(y.getSelection)%20{Q=y.getSelection();}%20else%20if%20(x.getSelection)%20{Q=x.getSelection();}popw%20=%20y.open('https://mail.google.com/mail?view=cm&tf=0&to=&su='%20+%20escape(document.title)%20+%20'&body='%20+%20escape(Q)%20+%20escape('n')%20+%20escape(location.href),'gmailForm','scrollbars=yes,width=680,height=510,top=175,left=75,status=no,resizable=yes');if%20(!document.all)%20T%20=%20setTimeout('popw.focus()',50);void(0);

    It picks up the current URL and ad it to the body of the mail.

11. Bubber,

    Thanks for the tip. I’m getting some errors with that, tho, possibly your gode got mangled in transit. Could you post again, as a link?

    Quote Joen said May 15th, 2008, 10:34:

12. Hmm as a link - I’ll try. 2nd try!

    Gmail this
