The TL;DR is: Gmail has a number of modifier-less keyboard shortcuts that can hide messages and dismiss the notification the message has been hidden faster then you can notice if you are typing fast and accidentally lose GUI focus on the message editor area.
Email clients are not video games. The keyboard commands should require modifiers.
- hibbelig 6y agoI love those modifier-less keyboard shortcuts! But maybe you're right that in a web browser, it can easily go wrong.
