Exactly the response I was hoping to trigger :)

I agree.

I don't see why you want to make the keyboard shortcuts configurable to each user. Most apps don't. As long as they're somewhat standard, or make sense, then make the users learn the RoundCube shortcuts. Maybe have a help item that describes the keyboard shortcuts. At most, I'd say, put the shortcuts in a config file so the admin can change what they are, and base the help item on that config file.

You see, that's the reason why this has not been implemented yet. It's
quite easy to add a key handler to the code but then we get dozens for
posts here where people complain the key allocation.
To make it right, it also requires to provide a config panel where every
user can enable/disable keyboard shortcuts and select the keys. This
selection has to be saved to the user preferences and passed to the
client and interpreted by the keyboard handler.

I hope one day somebody will take care of that but it's not on top of
the features-to-implement-list.

On the road map we have an entry "Customizable keyboard shortcuts" for
future versions: http://roundcube.net/?p=roadmap

Hi,

one thing I'm really missing in roundcube which I know is possible and
probably not too hard: keyboard commands. I know you can capture
keyboard events in javascript so this surprises me (that it's not
implemented yet).

Am I missing something here? please tell...

Anyway, I'm really looking for some easy shortcuts in non-composer
mode to browse more easily (space -> next message, del -> delete
selected message).
Cheers,

Auke
