Instead of pressing c to open the message composing section, press b or d to see some additional fields.<br /><br />To sum up, open Gmail and type b (or d), the same way you would press F1 or Ctrl-Alt-Del. It's a single character shortcut.Truehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16242723495892162953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085072442168191943.post-52334184057844790802011-07-24T11:11:07.650-07:002011-07-24T11:11:07.650-07:00Conger anie

It is very annoying and time wasting. In Microsoft Word and other programs I work with, double clicking a single word does not include the space too.
