Usability of Thunderbird message viewer #398
Comments
Comment 1 by jteh on 2009-08-23 11:24 I'm not so keen on the idea of customising the buffer for Thunderbird. If we do want this, I think I prefer the idea of a mode to disable quick nav keys. |
Would it be easily possible to disable quick navigation by default for thunderbird message view now that #3203 (disabling quick navigation keys with shift+nvda+space) is there? |
This would be great to have |
@LeonarddeR is this somehow addressed by the PR #8846 which has been recently merged allowing browse mode to be disabled by default? Or is that working only for browsers? |
@Adriani90: Disabling browse mode by default should work for thunderbird, yes. However, disabling browse mode also destroys the ability to navigate through the message content, so is definitely not what one would do when working nonvisually. |
Ok, this works quite good when disabling quick navigation with nvda+shift+space bar. But quick navigation gets automatically enabled after a dialog is displayed or when the cursor jumps to another area on the thunderbird window. |
I am onl keyboard layout Laptop. |
Hmm this behavior seems to have changed in Thunderbird 68.3.0 and NVDA alpha 19420,a2c6f0f8. |
Ok, I am closing this issue since I cannot reproduce it and I didn't hear any further user reports on this. |

Thunderbird's message viewer is pretty comfortable. You can navigate forward/backward through unread/all messages and threads by pressing quick navigation keys b,f,n,t and p. however, Its usability conflicts with NVDA virtual buffer quick-nav keys. Pressing nvda+space each time you want skip the message can become quite nasty.
I am thinking about some customized virtual buffer for thunderbird appModule, which will pass those keys to message viewer. Or we can go further and implement mode, in which nvda virtual buffer will act as regular text field without any quick-nav keys. Therefore this mode can be enabled by user when desired.
