Hi,
Does anyone have any pointers on how to best use the gmail web client on safari on Catalina or Big Sir? I can open, send, forward, and delete messages, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to select multiple messages at once to either move or delete. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. I would prefer not to have to use Basic HTML mode, because then I can't take advantage of the gmail keyboard shortcuts.
Thanks

To select an email message you press X.
I recommend pressing question mark key when in Gmail To display the full reference of keyboard shortcuts going through the full list of keyboard shortcuts.
Make sure you enable keyboard navigation in Gmail settings.
I personally prefer to use Safari but Gmail generally works better in chrome as much as I hate chrome.
Another option is to just connect to Gmail from Apple mail which is generally much more accessible. Hope this helps

Also, Mimestream is an accessible gmail client for MacOs, supporting gmail keyboard shortcuts. Since it’s a standalone app, it’s faster than safari imo.
