Ami Weinberg		 en Was great while it lasted. It looks like this is now obsolete and unsupported. I recommend switching to Gmail Shortcuts and customizing the desired keys. See: http://tinyurl.com/2zu87svz & http://tinyurl.com/2ymw76jt

Elizabeth Anne Fleming		 en It's not working anymore. Not sure why, it was awesome when it worked! I hope this gets fixed or I can figure if it's user error... I re-installed it and it's still not working.
