Isaiah Richards (ID: 0000003487f06151) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 08/31/2023 Unfortunately updating my review after realizing that for some reason shift is also used for account switching. This leads to refreshing the page whenever you type anything requiring a symbol. Should not even be a thing.

Georgi Kirilov (ID: 000000e25b0450cb) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/09/2022 Needs better support for disabling the shift + key shortcuts otherwise a solid extension

Bobby Bates (ID: 000000a6817ede8a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/20/2022 It works! Super helpful to flip between multiple Gmail accounts. On Mac, use Option ⌥ rather than ALT. Thanks, Aditya!
