Delete Key for Gmail™ Extension

-= 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.

Google User (ID: 000000379b8de0b5) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/29/2023 Like others (not the sophists) it doesn't work for me. I refreshed and closed Chrome. I change the setting to "no modifier key" + delete (for the delete key) and it doesn't do anything. But....if I OPEN up the email and then press delete,it works. This is not intuitive or logical. Why should I have to open up SPAM and then delete? I expect the extension to delete whatever is selected and not needing to OPEN it like the default # or remapping to d does.

Shannon Benzing (ID: 00000087c495242f) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/11/2023 Easy to customize - but it doesn't work for me. I don't know if google has blocked it or if it's b/c I'm on a company managed account that possibly doesn't allow it.
