- (2019-07-09) Andriy Yablonskyy: Crtl+i conflicts on a lot of sites with "Italics" formatting. An ability to change keyboard shortcuts and/or be able to open from context menu would make me switch from wasavi.
- (2015-08-18) James Day: So Awesome! One thing killing it for me at the moment and making me move to WASAVI is that I can't seem to get it to open in GMAIL. (Shortcut is set to "Italicize" and I can't seem to change it.) Thanks Pal!
