Gmail Tab to Indent

Make the Tab key indent your text in Gmail compose instead of jumping focus. Toggle with a shortcut or an in-compose button.

Gmail Tab to Indent makes the Tab key indent inside Gmail's compose box, and leaves Tab working exactly as normal everywhere else.

How it works

• Press Tab inside the message body to indent.
• Press Shift+Tab to remove one level of indent.
• Tab still moves keyboard focus normally in the To/Cc/Subject fields and everywhere outside of Compose.

Turn it on or off three ways

• The keyboard shortcut Alt+Shift+T, from anywhere in the tab.
• The toolbar popup — a single switch, plus the current shortcut and a link to Chrome's shortcut editor.
• A small pill button injected into each compose window's title bar.

All three stay in sync instantly, including across multiple open Gmail tabs.
