Simplehuman, keyboard shortcuts and command bar for Gmail Extension

Simplehuman adds keyboard shortcuts and command bar to your Gmail to make you faster at email.

Use simpler keyboard shortcuts to navigate through email, archive, delete, switch between email in almost flow-state speeds. It brings the Superhuman shortcut experience right inside Gmail, without costing you $30/month.

Reach inbox zero or inbox read. Whatever your style, Simplehuman simply works.

Note:
This extension requires enabling keyboard shortcuts in Gmail Settings before use.

Features:
1. Superhuman shortcuts right inside Gmail - Esc, Snooze, Command+K, RSVP, Open Links
A simpler and affordable alternative to Superhuman. This extensions adds the same shortcuts and workflows that you love and have gotten used to. Extra handy for times you *have* to use Gmail or if you are looking to stop using Superhuman, but your shortcut muscle memory still wants to use the same shortcuts.

2. Command Center for emails - Cmd+K or Ctrl+K
All your email actions - mark read/unread, report spam, archive, add label, compose etc available in an easy to use command bar. You wouldn't need to use your mouse again (mostly).

3. Nudges to learn keyboard shortcuts
Whenever you use your mouse, Simplehuman gently prompts you with the keyboard shortcut that you could have use instead. Migrate to using shortcuts at your own pace.

4. Quick navigation through your email
Jumping between your Inbox, Sent, Drafts, or Folders is now an easy to use command with Simplehuman. Hit `Esc` to go back to the previous screen from wherever you are. You don't need a $30/month app to give you shortcuts when Gmail already has them ;)

5. Quick actions for Opening links, RSVP, Unsubscribe, and attachments
RSVP to calendar invites, open attachments or links, or unsubscribe from those pesky emails using the Command Center.

6. Browser extension that works everywhere, and along with your existing extensions
Works on all popular browsers. You can continue using extensions like Grammarly, Streak, and Mailtrack while being faster at email.

Email is heavy, hard, and plenty. But email does not have to be a pain or expensive. Mastery over your email is the quickest way to a healthier relationship with it, and Simplehuman will get you there.

Better productivity awaits!

Brent Maxwell (ID: 00000026deec0ad5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/24/2023 This is aweeeeesome. It massively speeds up and simplifies usage of GMail. The original shortcuts are so unintuitive, and this levels up the whole experience massively. Great pricepoint too, and the developer is super active and amazing at feedback and improvements.
