Not exactly. What I'm looking for is the ability to invoke the Mailplane menu item dropdown, regardless of which application is in front at the time. Having this notification show up in the menubar is great:
http://skitch.com/ryanmf/bref4/mailplane ...but it doesn't tell me who the email is from or which of my 5 gmail accounts it's arrived in. That's fine, all that information is presented in the dropdown. I just happen to be one of those "do everything with keyboard shortcuts" types, and I can Cmd+Tab (or Opt +Tab with Witch) into Mailplane directly much faster than I can get my cursor up to the menu bar. But I don't *want* to do that at all. A synopsis of the information is available. I can get to it from any application. I'd just prefer to be able to do so with a keyboard shortcut rather than a mouse, like I can change iTunes tracks via CoverSutra with Cmd+Ctrl+→. (Actually, I suppose the closest example is if you create a menu item ssb with Todd Ditchendorf's Fluid [http://fluidapp.com] you can set a global shortcut to bring it to the front, but since it's been converted to a menu item it drops from the menu bar exactly like I want the Mailplane menu item to.) If something along the lines of "Show Menu Notifier" were added to the "Window" menu (⌘5, perhaps?), then I'd be able to map it to a systemwide shortcut that I could use regardless of the active app, I think. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mailplaneapp" group.
