Message Sneak Peek new feature introduced by Gmail Labs

Gmail Labs launched two new features – Message Sneak Peek and Nested Labels. The features can be activated in your Gmail account very simply – just enable them from the Labs tab in your Settings.

This is exactly what “Message Sneak Peek” does. After you turn it on, right-clicking on a line in your inbox shows a preview pane with the message in it. the feature allows you to peek into any message/mail in your Inbox, without actually opening it. You can see the preview/sneak peek by right-clicking the message in the Inbox.

You can also use keyboard shortcuts for a faster sneak-peeking flow (enable keyboard shortcuts in Settings first if you haven’t done so): hit ‘h’ to open a sneak peek card, then navigate with ‘j’ and ‘k,’ and dismiss the current card by pressing “Escape.” Messages you peak at will stay unread (or it wouldn’t really be a sneak peek, would it?).

The Message Sneak Peek function only works for both unread and read messages. Your unread message stay as unread once you have peeked at them. If the message you are reading has a thread, then you can view choose to view all of them, or scroll through them one by one. It automatically opens on the most recent message.

Happy peeking!
