Black arrow visible when keyboard shortcuts are turned on

[Paul]

I just saw a list of keyboard shortcuts in Gmail that I'd like to try,
but as soon as I turned them on, I saw a black arrow next to one of my
emails, which I'd rather not have in my inbox. Is there any way I can
disable that one feature of keyboard shortcuts? I recall asking this
question in one group or another when I first started trying Gmail,
and the answer then was "No." Hopefully that's changed.

I don't think so as there could be conversation specific actions (like opening / archiving) and you would want to be "blind" when you do that.

The arrow tells you which message you're about to act on. Without it,
how would you know which message(s) you were about to take an action
on? I see that as equivalent to us mouse users asking for no pointer.
"I don't like that little hand that's moving around my screen. It's
distracting."

So... No... it's an integral part of Keyboard Shortcuts, and I don't
foresee it ever changing.

The black arrow indicates which message gmail will open, oft times
when this is not ones intent;
e.g. I have checked one or more messages, selected a label &
associated that label with those checked messages;
the gmail action is to properly assign those labels & also open the
message indicated by the black arrow.
At the very least this is annoying, & it is not my intent; thus far I
have found no way to move the black arrow.

Pardon my ignorance but how does a gmail user control the black arrow?
