Surprising Feature of Gmail

I just explored a feature in Gmail.. for my Did you know Series..

While selecting some email drafts for discarding I clicked on a checkbox by keeping the Shift bbutton pressed to select it and then clicked on another checkbox for another item in the list up above I saw all the items between these tow items got selected. When it was done I was surprised as it wont happen in any other Application from a Web developer’s point of view.

Selection of all the items between the two items that you select while keeping the shift button pressed is a known behavior for most applications but not for this kind of applications and listings.

It has been made this way purposely.

Gmail never stops to surprise me with its cool innovations.

It’s trying to make all its applications with as close to conventional features as possible.

Google Team… You guys Rock.
