Is there a way to simultaneously delete an email and move to the next with Keyboard shortcuts?

Question

I use the # key to delete emails in Gmail, but then I need to press Enter to get into the next conversation (Gmail automatically redirects to the inbox I was in previously).

This is probably pedantic and wishing for it means I deserve a medal for lethargy, but is there a way I can just hit # and the next email shows up (I think this is the way Yahoo mail works)?

Answer 1

To make Gmail automatically open the next (or previous) message instead of going back to the message list:

Note: The new google doesn't have the option under the general tab anymore

• Select Settings in Gmail.
• Go to the Labs tab.
• Make sure Enable is selected for Auto-advance.
• Click Save Changes.
