Delete Key for Gmail™

Streamline your email management with the Delete Key for Gmail™ extension. This tool allows you to delete individual emails in Gmail™ using a customizable keyboard shortcut (default is Shift + 5). Instead of the standard option to delete an entire thread, you can now focus on deleting just the current message, making your email cleanup much more efficient.

The extension is user-friendly and offers an options page where you can modify the delete shortcut to fit your preferences. Additionally, recent updates ensure that the shortcut conflicts with Gmail’s built-in shortcuts have been resolved, enhancing the overall user experience.

Please note that Gmail is a trademark of Google LLC, and this extension is not associated with Google.

Key Features:

  • Delete individual messages in Gmail™ quickly.
  • Customizable keyboard shortcut.
  • Regular updates to improve functionality.
