[gui-talk] A google mail key question:

[wcmerritt at gmail.com]

I thik that there's a setting in the Gmail settings area to enable
keyboard shortcuts. i don't remember off hand where this is, perhaps
in either the general or labs settings. The thing is, in order to
access the labs settings, you need to put Gmail into standard view and
then access the settings. Note that most of the labs options will only
work in the standard view. Many of these are fluff in my opinion, but
I have read about a few that seem like they would be helpful, if they
ever made it over to the Basic HTML side. Anyway, good luck.
