Perfect. I used this for quite some time and now have a good command over the shortcuts I need. I have removed it as I don't always want to be forced to use the shortcuts now that I have gained the efficiency I need from this extension. I'll reinstall if I find myself forgetting the shortcuts at any stage... Nicely done!

I'm really wanting to like this but nothing happens when hovering over gmail buttons on my pc. 3 stars for the great idea! Going to keep trying to see why it is doing nothing.

really good extension. Has helped by pushing me to learn the keyboard shortcuts with a little more force than "remembering to use them". Couple small teething issues though: (1) opens the "Keyboard Shortcuts for Gmail" web page every time my computer is turned on. Not sure why. (2) the "Send and Archive" shortcut is the same as the "Send" shortcut, and I don't always want to archive after sending. Unfortunately due to the plugin blocking my mouse input, it doesn't let me do what I want. But overall this is a great app and I look forward to learning my keyboard shortcuts really well in the future.
