Delete Key for Gmail™

Delete a single email in Gmail™ with a customizable user shortcut (default is Shift + 5).

Delete Key for Gmail™ - Customizable Gmail Shortcut Extension

Delete Key for Gmail™ is a user-friendly Chrome extension designed to provide the convenience of deleting individual emails in Gmail threads with the press of a shortcut key. It mimics the action of selecting 'Delete this message' from the menu button of an individual email. The shortcut can be customized according to the user's preferences. This extension ensures that the delete action is exclusive to emails and does not interfere while typing in text fields. Additionally, it is continually updated to remain compatible with changes in Gmail's code.

-= 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.
