We two ways to select message in Gmail: The vertical bar, which works like a "focus". When you open a message, it'll open the focused conversation. You can move this vertical bar using Cmd-Arrow up/down or by pressing 'j' and 'k'.
Checkboxes: Used to perform archive/label etc. - Click a check box to select it - Shift-click a check box to extend the selection from the previously selected check box - click the checkbox to include/exclude it - Use the '*' key to turn on the check box for conversations: [image: Inline image 1] Tip: Press '?' to get all Gmail keyboard shortcuts.
