Direct links to Gmail emails

Copy this script line, and add it to a bookmark as the URL paramenter:

javascript:(async function(){try{messageId=document.querySelector('div[data-legacy-message-id]').getAttribute('data-legacy-message-id');user=location.pathname.match(/\/u\/(\d)/)[1];await navigator.clipboard.writeText('https://mail.google.com/mail/u/'+user+'/#all/'+messageId)}catch(e){console.error(e)}})()

Open any email, click the bookmark, and the direct link is copied to your clipboard.
