command to go to next/previous mail pane?

[anthonymvicente]

Not sure if there's already a command to do this, but I use the F6/shift+F6 command to move between the mail panes regularly, but can't seem to find a command to bind to. I'd like to use the same shortcuts, but with a different key. Is this something tbkeys can do?

Try the following main binding keys in settings using the tbkey addon.

1 - switch focus to next pane i.e. folder to thread to message
shift+1 - switch focus to previous pane

{
  "1": "window.SwitchPaneFocus(window.event);",
  "shift+1": "window.SwitchPaneFocus(window.event);"
}

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work in TB 115.13 with tbkeys-lite:

Try the following main binding keys in settings using the tbkey addon.

1 - switch focus to next pane i.e. folder to thread to message shift+1 - switch focus to previous pane

{
  "1": "window.SwitchPaneFocus(window.event);",
  "shift+1": "window.SwitchPaneFocus(window.event);"
}

You cannot run arbitrary javascript with tbkeys-lite. There is a tbkeys.xpi link on the GitHub releases page.

You can use the default F6 and Shift+F6 shortcuts to switch between Spaces Menu Button, Global Search Bar, Folder Pane, Thread Pane and Message Pane in Thunderbird 115.

The first and second examples don't work as most users would expect in Thunderbird 115.

{
  "1": "window.SwitchPaneFocus(window.event);",
  "shift+1": "window.SwitchPaneFocus(window.event);"
}

{
  "f1": "window.SwitchPaneFocus(window.event);",
  "shift+f1": "window.SwitchPaneFocus(window.event);"
}

{
  "ctrl+1": "window.SwitchPaneFocus(window.event);",
  "ctrl+shift+1": "window.SwitchPaneFocus(window.event);"
}

The first example would type "1" when the Global Search Bar is focused.

The second example would run the Get Help command when the Global Search Bar is focused.

The third example works correctly.
