Summary: it's not possible to navigate with the keyboard cursor
keys in mail list and folder list
Product: kmail
Version: 1.9.9
Platform: unspecified
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: bugzilla kerridis de
Version: 1.9.9 (using 3.5.9, Debian Package 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-2
(lenny/sid))
Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-2.6.24.3.slh.6-sidux-686
Often it is quicker to navigate in applications with the keyboard instead of
with the mouse, especially when you in any case have to use the keyboard to
write text. Kmail is one of those programs.
When I click into the folder list I expect to be able to scroll up and down by
using the cursor keys. When I click into the mail list I expect to be able to
scroll it with the cursor keys too. But both does not work, instead of that the
mail in the mail preview window is scrolling. When I want to scroll the mail
I'd first click into its window (or use tab to activate it). At least other
programs with divided window handle the internal navigation this way
(thunderbird, quanta, kooka - just to mention a few).
Now that kmail has become an enterprise capable version I'd expect even more to
have a consistent behaviour and to honor those fast typers - and those who have
difficulties or don't like to use the mouse for everything. I'd consider it to
be a bug not to be able to scroll through my kmail folder list and the list of
mails with the keyboard cursor keys, but as I assume it is a feature/intended
behaviour I mark it as wishlist entry.
