You see, that's the reason why this has not been implemented yet. It's quite easy to add a key handler to the code but then we get dozens for posts here where people complain the key allocation.
Exactly the response I was hoping to trigger :)
Believe me, I do NOT want to support 200+ users all with their own custom key-mapping.
I agree.
And now it's missing. This deadlock isn't good either, I'd rather see well-chosen shortcuts that are at least shared with 1 or 2 other mail applications then none.
picking thunderbird's shortcuts (n, del, space, r) would be a huge gain. I'm sure people will moan but you can at least say that you didn't grab them from /dev/random and other people have thought about them before.
You can always ignore the keyboard shortcuts completely, and wave that at people who complain that ctrl-alt-shift-pgup doesn't go to the prev-non-nested-one-level-up-folder or something. Draw a line and stick with it.

I agree that we should include some sensible keybinds. Delete is a no-brainer for instance, but what's this I keep hearing about the space key? The space key doesn't navigate to the next message on my install of Thunderbird or Outlook or any other mail application that I've ever heard of.
