Gmail Mouse Gestures

Use mouse gestures to browse mails even faster!

What is Gmail Mouse Gestures?

"Gmail Mouse Gestures" is a Chrome extension that enables users to navigate Gmail with mouse gestures. Simply press the right mouse button and drag up to go to the inbox, left for a newer email and right for an older email. This tool was revamped when the original Google Mail lab app was removed. Despite some bugs, it aims to increase productivity and make email browsing faster and more efficient.

Be more productive, save your time, use gestures! This was a Google Mail app (in labs). Unfortunately removed some days ago. So I remade it for us. Any advice and comments are welcome!

Support me with 5 stars! :)

p.s. If it's not working at first, don't give up! Try clearing your cache (Use CTRL+SHIFT+R hotkeys!) and restarting Chrome. That should do the trick.

When dragging up back to inbox the MouseUp event is detected in the inbox page, so the message it releases above becomes selected and the context menu displayed. This is quite umconfortable. It would also be nice if dragging in the inbox navigated through the new Gmail tabs (Primary, Social, Promotions...)
