gmail bindings in browsers

I hadn't realized how hooked to gmail I was until I was reading the NYT site and I hit "u". I think we need to have a firefox extension that allows gmail key bindings. The most useful would be a "g+i" combination to go up to the root url, say if I was reading a NYT story, I could go up to nytimes.com.

The other key that would be useful is "u" - which would just take me up in the hierarchy by going up one in the URL. So if I was in nytimes/news/candybars, "u" would take me up to nytimes/news/.

There already exists an extension for firefox that handles going up in the hierarchy. I want a combined plugin.

And one more thing. It should autodetect that we're at gmail.com and disable itself.

mmmm.
