Gmail Mouse Gestures Extension

Be more productive, save your time, use gestures! This was a Google Mail app (in labs). Unfortunately removed some days ago. So I remade it for us. Any advice and comments are welcome!

Support me with 5 stars! :)

UPDATE 13/10/12: New version arrived! Major bugs fixed. Enjoy!

p.s. If it's not working at first, don't give up! Try clearing your cache (Use CTRL+SHIFT+R hotkeys!) and restarting Chrome. That should do the trick.

Usage: Press right mouse button then:
- drag up: go to inbox*
- drag left: newer mail**
- drag right: older mail**

* I know, this action should go to previous list, unfortunately it's impossible because annoying Chrome bug. :(
** Works only when you are reading a mail (watching a single list soon), because chrome bug. Sorry for that

Alfredo Barral (ID: 00000095815df55b) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 01/23/2014 When dragging up back to inbox the MouseUp event is detected in the inbox page, so the message it releases above becomes selected and the context menu displayed. This is quite umconfortable. It would also be nice if dragging in the inbox navigated through the new Gmail tabs (Primary, Social, Promotions...)
