It's amazingly how quickly this instills the basics of keyboard navigation -- to the point where I'd like to see KeyRocket for just about every other program that uses shortcuts. KeyRocket for Chrome, anyone? KeyRocket for Word?

In the meantime, KeyRocket for Gmail works wonders. It's a must-have plug-in for anyone who wants to learn the fine art of keyboard navigation. It's either that or you keep flipping back and forth between Gmail and Google's -- a hassle if ever there was one.
