@Fuzzwah - regarding #4, I'm trying to insert a link. I don't see how you can do the drag and drop, especially if you want to make a word a link instead. Not http url.
It seems you still can test links. For some reason, I couldn't do it for a period. Maybe they brought it back...
In regards to learning hotkeys - there is no hotkey for changing subject line or getting access to emails. Otherwise I'd learn it.
I think they should keep the simple UI for mobile and give the more full featured one for desktop (or at least an option).
- Fuzzwah 13y agoGotcha. In general I detest html email so your #4 problem isn't something I've faced. My answer of dragging and dropping isn't actually something I do very much either. I normally just copy and paste the link into the email and don't format it in anyway. I'm totally with you on subject editing and accessing email addresses from the header. Adding clicks purely to minimize the design seems like a poor move to me too.
- taigeair 13y agoSorry I meant #3. Either way, I like to format my links. If there's a shortcut to pop out the message to compose mode, I'd totally learn that. I wonder what the gmail team is thinking with this new UI...
- pfg 13y agoYou can hold shift while you click on "Compose" or "Reply" to open it in a new window (if that's what you meant).
- Fuzzwah 13y agoshift + r Alas, you'd then still need to click the formatting and header to make the changes you're talking about.
- taigeair 13y ago@fuzzwah I meant as you are replying inline. e.g. http://www.taigeair.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Edit-Subject-Gmail.jpg http://www.taigeair.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Edit-Subj... I tried hitting shift+r but it just looks like inline reply in a new window. Obviously I use email a lot and care a lot about gmail.
