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

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.

2019-07-23 Brandon Craft Works like a charm. Only issue is, Options is grayed out. I'm assuming this is where you change the shortcut key, but I don't really have a need to be in options... Yet.

This seems to work only if you're in the inbox. If I'm viewing any other label or a set of search results, it will not work. The latter is probably the instance during which I find I most want this functionality, when i'm sifting through emails to find a particular item of information.

It's very effective for such a small extension. My only gripe is that sometimes Gmail will "Re-open" some of the mail threads for no reason. Maybe this is something the creator can look into.

Built in Gmail keyboard shortcuts are sufficient for me. ; : Expand entire conversation : : Collapse entire conversation

Perfectly fills a small and important gap in Gmail's set of keyboard shortcuts.
