I quite like the mutt behaviour where there is no swapping focus. Some relevant key bindings are j - previous (undeleted) message k - next (undeleted) message z - page down in message list Z - page up in message list Space - page down in message - - page up in message (that is a minus sign) Enter - scroll down one line in message Backspace - scroll up one line in message Just having those keybindings available would make muttator much more usable for me.
