When I try to "mail" links in Safari it always defaults to Apple Mail. How can I change it to Gmail?

You may not be able to force these baked in apps to change and play nice w/ your gmail.

Copy and paste your links seems pretty common practice...for your issue.

You can try from Mail.app interface

Settings>General> default mail reader

Mail User Guide for Mac

Change the default web browser or email app on Mac

This link below from Apple on changing the default Browser or E-Mail Client used to send e-mails

Make sure the Default Account in the e-mail Client is set to Gmail
