Stop autohiding my signature & replied to text?

[Agunat]

Is there anyway to get Gmail to stop automatically hiding my signature and the replied to message when I am composing a reply?  They show those three little dots (...) at the bottom of the reply email that I can click manually to show that information.

Thanks in advance... Bob

That is called an Ellipsis. We have discussed it several times on this list and I have mentioned the Ctrl-Shift-A (select: none) keyboard trick a few times too.

No... there's no setting to change that functionality.

I'm sorry, I have not seen the previous discussions.  What was the answer?  What do you mean by Ctrl-Shift-A?  When I do that I am taken to the Firefox add-in page.  I don't want to have to do anything each time or else I can just click on the dots.

Why do you need to see your signature? Why do you need to expand the ellipsis if the message you are replying to is visible above the reply window?

I see what you mean in Firefox. That's a stupid shortcut (IMHO) as Ctrl-Shift-a is universal in just about any application that has an editor of any kind. It's function is select:none, the opposite of Ctrl-a which is select:all. In Gmail it just happens to expand the ellipsis also.

You can try use this extension to disable it https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/customizable-shortcuts/ or switch to another browser but I will refer again to my questions above.

 I've read a few help topics on how to keep our professional signatures from appearing to not show up. 

I'm still having the same issue occur after following them.  

So I started manually typing my signature.  I was amazed that even when I type in my signature (I even type it differently),

it does not appear in my sent message.  The person I emailed told me that the little dots still appear that you have

to click on.

Hoping and wishing that Google would allow our signatures to be visible instead of keeping the feature

that turns them into dots to be clicked on.  I know a lot of people miss those, as the internet

has become so lazy that people don't even want to click on dots to see the signature and info.

Plus, they shouldn't have to.  The signatures should just be visible.

Why do you need to see your signature? Why do you need to expand the ellipsis if the message you are replying to is visible above the reply window?

Hello Marko,

I want to see the reply because I use a designated Gmail account (8 of them) and have to add my name to the signature.
With 50 e-mails to reply to, that is 50 extra clicks I just had to make.  That was just one inbox.

That's why.

​You're replying a thread from 2013. I have no idea what you are saying above, it makes no sense to me. Why don't you just put your name in the signature?​
