We already mentioned that the recent Gmail revamp includes new keyboard shortcuts, but this one deserves an individual shout: when you’re viewing a Gmail message, you can archive it AND move to the next or previous message in one keystroke. Use the square brackets:
- [ to archive and go to the previous message
- ] to archive and go to the next message
Alternately, you can press y, then o to archive a message and go to the next one. You must have the keyboard shortcuts enabled in your account (visit Settings to do so) for this to work.
Nice little shortcut for GMAIL I will have to try to remember that when I use it.
