• Use Gleebox on Google Reader without disabling builtin shortcuts

  I like to change my shortcut key for Gleebox to “;”, rather than “g”. That way, when I’m on Google Reader, I can still use the “g” shortcut that Google Reader has built-in, and still use Gleebox on the page.
  I chose the semi-colon because having it right on my right pinky I find really convenient.

  For some reason, though, this doesn’t work with Gmail, even after removing gmail from the disable urls. Anybody know why that is?

  I have set up ‘.’ for Gleebox and ‘,’ for Tab manager.

  We’ve tried to investigate how to make Gleebox work on gmail, but haven’t had any luck yet

  I also use ‘;’ because I also have Type-Ahead-Find which uses ‘ and /.
  Gmail seems to disable all keyboard events. But I don’t mind since it has the most amazing navigation hotkeys ever! It’s actually nice, because other sites with similar navigation often get overridden by the extension, when I press ‘/’ for example.
