As Brandon said, it could be related to the terminal you are using. I just added bind index \ej sidebar-next to my muttrc and ALT+j works. Acording to Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition "The Alt modifier (i.e., Alt-?) is in fact a short way of pressing and releasing Esc before entering the key combination; hence Esc then f is the same as Alt-f--UNIX is different from other operating systems in this use of Esc." Maybe your /etc/inputrc is mapped some other way? -- Veljko
