The shortcut is ctrl + return(enter) (currently non-customizable). It will trigger one the action button when an email is selected using key navigation (when the blue bar appears):
Mute Thread
If you no longer want to receive notifications for a certain thread on GitHub, click the Mute thread button or using a shortcut shift + h. Currently this feature is not functional but has been reported as an issue.

Custom Domains (for GitHub Enterprise)
If you are using GitHub Enterprise and have a custom domain, you can set it in the extension options page.
Mail View Shortcut
Customize the keyboard shortcut that triggers the View on GitHub button. Change the shortcut combination by focusing the input, and press whatever key(s) you want to be the shortcut. It will be displayed in keyCode which is why you see 71 here instead of g. Don't worry about it.

To open a new window in the background (shift + b) – Chrome only:
