Gmail – Open Reply Composer in Separate Window

gmail

Gmail launched a new composer interface today. In the new interface, I can't figure out how to pop out a draft reply into a separate window. Sometimes it's nice to have the extra space.

Is this possible?

This is what my compose screen looks like:

This is how to do it as of the Oct 2018 version of gmail. It requires 2 steps:

  1. shift + r or shift + click Reply to "Reply with Pop Out". This will open the reply in a "pop out dialog", but it's still in the same browser tab.

  2. Next, find the "Exit full-screen" button in the upper right corner.

If you do shift + click [Exit full-screen], it will open the Reply window in a new browser window.

If you do ctrl + click [Exit full-screen] (or cmd on mac), it will open the Reply window in a new browser tab.
