Feature Request: Message preview on mouseover #353

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 

It would be great to have a mouseover-activated popup window to quick-view 
messages.

There is a Chrome extension called EZ preview, but it doesn't work on gmail.

Enable the Gmail Lab "Message Sneak Peek" it previews the message when you 
right click it.

thanks for the message. I know of the Labs feature, but was looking
for a preview w/o having to right-click. Thanks.

There is a UX reason for not making the peek trigger on hover. If it did then 
there would be no way to move your cursor down on the page. The peek would 
trigger and block all the lower items. Right click and keyboard navigation are 
the most reasonable triggers for this feature.
