About
-= 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. Gmail is a trademark of Google LLC. Use of this trademark is subject to Google Permissions. This extension and its developers are in no way associated with Google LLC. -= Changelog =- 1.5.1 - Fixed bugs related to the latest Gmail code changes. 1.5 - Shortcuts no longer conflict with Gmail's own keyboard shortcuts. - Updated to Manifest V3 - Settings panel now uses Bootstrap (mostly because Manifest V3 removed chrome_style) 1.4 - Fixed bugs related to the latest Gmail code changes. 1.3: - Fixed bug where keyboard shortcuts could be activated while typing in some fields. 1.2: - Added support for a secondary shortcut. 1.1: - Fixed bug where delete action would fire if the user was typing in a text field. 1.0: - Initial release.
