Shortcuts for "Todoist for Gmail"?

I recently started using the Todoist for Gmail extension. It’s pretty nice! And as of v41, todoist-shortcuts works within the embedded Todoist.

However, of course I would like keyboard shortcuts. Specifically:

• A shortcut to add the current email as a task. I’m thinking q while gmail is focused.

• A shortcut to switch between gmail and the todoist frame.

• Possibly a shortcut to collapse the todoist frame. It might be cool to generally have keybindings to control gmail inline frames.

I think this should be possible, though iframes can be tricky.

Include directly in todoist-shortcuts?

One decision to make here is whether it should be included directly in todoist-shortcuts. The alternative is to create a new, separate extension.

Pros for direct inclusion

• No need to install another extension, conveniently just there. Possibly more users with access.

Cons for direct inclusion

• Would need to add access to gmail to the urls that todoist-shortcuts is active on. For the security conscious, it would probably be better to have only a very small extension with permission to read/modify gmail.

• By not having an opt-in, people might not realize the keyboard shortcuts exist.

Initial conclusion

Should probably be a separate extension. What do y’all think? Maybe folks don’t care about adding permissions to read/write gmail?

Thanks for letting me know about your interest! It hasn’t happened yet, and it’s uncertain whether it ever will. These days for me there isn’t as much need for me to integrate gmail and Todoist, so I don’t anticipate implementing it soon.
