Gmail adds new shortcut: "e"
Gmail has unleashed a new shortcut for you to really keyjockey your way through your e-mail: the "e" shortcut. What does the magnificent "e" do, you ask? Well it... archives."But there already was an archive shortcut, "y" - why do we need another archiving shortcut?!" If this is the sentiment that you currently hold in your heart, let us explain. What "y" actually means is "remove from current view." In the inbox it means "archive," but in other views such as labels it means "remove label," and in the trash it means "move to Inbox."
So, let's say you're browsing through your e-mail that was filtered by a label. As you go through and try to archive your messages with the "y" button, all you're doing is stripping the poor thing of its label. This is where the "e" key comes in. Regardless from what view you're in, the conversation will be archived. Even if you are in "Starred" you can archive the message with "e" instead of taking away the star from a conversation you really just wanted to archive.
If they keyboard shortcuts don't seem to work, remember to enable them in "settings."

Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

Have they added the forward-slash (/) command yet? In Reader, it brings up a (really awesome!) semi-transparent overlay with all the keyboard shortcuts on it. I would love to have that for Gmail.

try 'shift + /' otherwise known as '?'.
