Gmail with Google Reader

Mihai of the Google Reader team and of persistent.info has written a cool Greasemonkey script to integrate Google Reader with Gmail . One of the problems I have with it is that it doesn't let you select a specific label from the GUI. It is possible to modify the script so that you can either view the entire interface or so that it selects just one label. However to select another label you would have to manually edit the script.

However, I've found a better way to do it. Just press "g t" when using the reader and a box containing your labels will pop up. You will have to use the arrow keys to navigate, and then press return to select the label you want. Using the shortcut "g a" will take you back to all items.

Update: In fact all of these shortcuts can be used (using 1 and 2 will switch between list and expanded view):

Tips and tricks Here are some useful keyboard shortcuts: j/k: next/previous item space/shift + space: next/previous item or page n/p: scan down/up (list only) o/enter: expand/collapse (list only) s: star item shift + s: share item v: view original t: tag item m: mark item as read r: refresh u: toggle full screen mode shift + a: mark all as read 1: switch to expanded view 2: switch to list view shift + n/p: next/previous subscription shift + x: expand folder shift + o: open subscription or folder g then h: go home g then a: go to all items g then s: go to starred items g then t: open tag selector g then u: open subscription selector
