Version 0.1
Compose an email in Chrome's address bar.
Works best when Gmail or other webmail is set as Chrome's mailto: handler (see bug).
Click here to install from the Chrome Web Store!
##Examples
Type "." followed by a space to start using the extension.
Hint: alt+d selects the address bar, or you can just hit ctrl+t and start typing. Also, tab-enter lets you send the composed message without touching the keyboard.
