I guess my neurones need a couple of beers to get up and running ;-) >> I also use a Space to mark a message as read (which was default in VA). >> So I just go Space and Return to jump to next unread. > > And that one please? What about the beers? ;-) Let's see. 1.- Open Customise and for 'Select container:' select 'Main Form'. Then click on down pointing arrow to the far right to expand Main Form and select 'Message List Pop-up Menu'. This will show on the right window 'Current items' the context menu that you get when you right click on the message list pane. 2.- On this window find and select with you mouse 'Move to Next Unread'. 3.- On the Shortcuts window you will see the shortcuts already available for this. 4.- Place your mouse in the little window where it says 'none' and hit Alt+8 (I will explain later why Alt+8), and this will replace 'none'. Then click the Assign button below. 5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for 'Mark as Read' using Alt+9 this time. 6.- Finally, click OK. Now, exit TB and find a file called 'tbuser.def' in your MAIL directory and open it with a text editor. As I have explained in another message a while ago: ,----- [ On April 19th I wrote in TBBeta: ] | It looks like it won't accept some single character shortcuts like | "Space" and "Enter", which are my favourite ones BTW to mark a message | as Read and Move to next unread. What I did was to assign something | like Alt+8 and Alt+9 and then exit TB. I opened tbuser.def with a text | editor and changed the string 'Alt+8' to 'Space' and 'Alt+9' to 'Enter' | and after restarting TB both are working just fine. `----- Hope this helps :) -- Best regards, Miguel A.
