Gmail Simplifies the Labeling Process

1 views

Google has taken a few steps to make labeling email messages in Gmail a little less complicated, particularly for those who are new to the service and not used to the Gmail labeling system.

Gmail users will notice that the buttons at the top of their inboxes are a little different looking now:


Now as Gmail Engineer Emil A. Eklund explains, "Instead of having to first apply the label and then archive, you can just use the 'Move to' button to label and archive in a single step -- just like you would with a folder. If you just want to add or remove a label, use the new 'Labels' button. Auto-complete works, so for those of you with a lot of labels, you can select the one you want just by typing the first couple characters."

On top of that, they have added keyboard shortcuts v for "move to" and l (that's a lower-case L) for "labels." Of course, you must have keyboard shortcuts turned on in your settings.
