One of the many things that makes Gmail such an incredibly powerful and useful email solution is its use of keyboard shortcuts. (Yahoo Mail also has shortcuts, as does Windows Live Hotmail (see this list)
But there is a problem. Recently, I have been on other sites, like the Administration page of this blog or other websites, and I have hit “g” then “i” which on Gmail means “Go to Inbox.” If you’re in Gmail, that will refresh the page and load any new email. But lately, I’ve been doing that on all kinds of sites, and of course, nothing happens.
I don’t know. It struck me as kinda funny.
