About Compose Enhancer for Gmail — Drag & Tab Indent
This extension enhances the composite box.
Drag it anywhere
Press the compose title bar and move. That's the whole interaction. The window follows your cursor anywhere over Gmail, and a plain click with no movement still collapses and expands compose the way it always did. Each draft remembers where you left it, so reopening a draft puts the window back where you put it.
Tab indents, Shift+Tab outdents
Press Tab with your cursor in the message body to indent. Shift+Tab removes one level. Backspace can delete a whole indent at once instead of one space at a time. Tab still moves focus normally in To, Cc, Subject, and everywhere outside compose.
A focus glow you can actually see
When Tab is walking the compose controls, Gmail's own focus ring is a thin line that is easy to lose. This draws a bold glow around whatever Tab lands on, keyboard only, and it follows Gmail's light and dark themes.
Every piece is optional
The toolbar popup has a switch for each one: the in-compose pill, the focus glow, whole-indent Backspace, and drag-to-move. Alt+Shift+T toggles
Tab-to-indent from anywhere. A small pill in each compose title bar toggles it too. All of them stay in sync instantly, across every open Gmail tab.
Privacy
This extension reads nothing and sends nothing. It stores your on/off settings in Chrome's synced storage and each draft's window position locally. No email content is read. No network requests. No analytics. No account.
