There was a time not long ago when the gmail compose window would flexibly configure (at least with mozilla/firefox) to some GTK rc "theme". so one could configure keys to do useful shortcut vi/emacs-like things, like delete a whole line. alas, no more. so "oldcompose.com" bring that functionality back and i'll join ye.
