Thanks for the long reply Scott. Hitting Cmd+S is so ingrained in my no matter which app I am running, it would be very difficult for me to change that habit. The rest of the shortcuts I use are as per gmail itself.
Sadly today gain I sent a mail in error and recovered it just in time by hitting the undo button. Hopefully this would be resolved soon.
