You can also just...
* Have shortcuts on and hit "d" -- open a new compose [browser] tab
* Hold Shift and hit "c" (or click "Compose") -- open compose in a popup
* Hold Shift+Ctrl and click "Compose" -- open a compose that fills 90% of the viewport
- thrownaway2424 12y agoAnd shift-click on the arrow in the small composer to re-open your composition in a new browser window.
- burkaman 12y agoOr just click Compose normally, and then click the arrow icon thing next to the close button of the compose window. All of these seem like better solutions than an extension.
- dang 12y agoNone of this is sufficient if, like me, you frequently have emails to reply to. I have to remember to shift-click "Reply" to get the larger window and then also select "Edit Subject" from a dropdown to see what I'm replying to (which, bizarrely, causes not only the subject line but also the body of the email to appear. Perhaps they forgot to hide it?), or click the inane "..." they put at the bottom to see the thread. Rarely has a UI caused so much black bile to accumulate within me.
- thezilch 12y agoNothing is more efficient than, like me, frequently replying to email with "r" and typing my response. That which I'm replying to is directly above, so I'm not sure I follow what you are looking for. I don't know that this extension purports to "fix" reply. I don't recall Gmail's reply ever working much differently than it does -- an inline textarea under the thread. Unclear what you are gaining from shift-click replying. Anything but inane... and hardly anything near one of the worst UIs... very revisionist.
