Not mention the sites that hijack "/" for their search. I don't think there's a single site that hijacked keys which ended up being a good idea (at least from my experience).

I think browsers need option to disable key hijacking.

It'd drive me crazy if Gmail _didn't_ do that. Love the keyboard shortcuts, including and especially the ones that override. Highly productive compared to the alternative.

I dunno; I really preferred the alternative I used to have: reading email in a proper email client. The only reason I use the web client now is that it's easier when I'm also using my phone to read mail away from my computer. And I'm strongly considering just returning to desktop-only email; that's how much I miss reading mail in gnus.

I read my GMail email in a desktop client and on my tablet and have no problem. Why did you have to switch away from gnus?

At the time I was heavily using local groups (folders) to organise the emails, and of course those weren't living on Google's servers—and if I were going to leave them up on the server, I might as well choose to organise them differently, since I wouldn't have gnus filtering them for me.

And I think there was some trouble with IMAP at the time too, so the path of least resistance was to just use the web client on my desktop. But, as I noted, I'm thinking of going back.

God, I'm glad I haven't run into these sites. There needs to be a browser extension to prevent this.
