Hi! It does not matter which window is focused, this is what I noticed with the kmail program in kde and I find it useful while navigating/reading emails. However, when the folder window (on the right) is focused and you want to navigate in that area with keyboard only, you have to press the Alt+Arrow Up/Down key to move from one folder (example: inbox, sent, trash, etc.) to another.
Just keep the already implemented shortcuts as long as it does not conflict with the new suggested shorcuts. The "space bar" for example when you want the message body to scroll up, also implemented the same in kde except for the "backspace" shortcut. This is not to suggest to copy what's already in kde but to pick those that will improve usability for evolution. I've tried using other mail applications like netscape mail, opera, thunderbird and evolution but these programs lack the useful shortcuts I suggested. I'm using ubuntu this time with GNOME desktop at my home computer and mepis with kde desktop in my office computer. For my home computer, I still keep kmail for I find it better than other mail programs available because I can navigate my emails easily without touching the mouse. However, I don't like running kmail with GNOME desktop for there are other processes that will also be running when using kmail but unnecessary for other GNOME applications. I'm glad you replied to my email, I thought no one noticed my suggestion posted on the mailing list, that's why I just unsubcribed this morning. -- Vernie On Thursday 04 January 2007 20:49, Calum Benson wrote: > On 20 Dec 2006, at 01:39, Vernie Gloria wrote: > > Hello! > > > > I will find evolution much more intuitive when the following > > navigation keys > > be implemented as part of email navigation: > > When which window is focused (the message list, I guess)?
