Hacking up Gmail macros for pagination »

I love spelunking through email using nothing but the keyboard - it takes me back to my Stanford days when I mucked around with Pine. I extended Mihai's macros to do pagination from the keyboard (using 1/2). I had previously used -/+ for pagination, but the - key code is 0 - which was getting in the way of deleting, which is #. Oddly, that key code is also zero. Is it because of the shift key modifier? Note, you must be on the all mail page for this to work properly. If you hit next page from the inbox, you will be routed to page 2 of all mail. Yeah, this is a bug and the code is totally ugly, but it's Christmas and I just want to read/clean my mail. Happy holidays!
