(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kmail
Version:           1.3.9 (using KDE 2.9.0 3 (CVS >= 20020213))
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.17
OS/Compiler notes: 

When you double click on a message in the message list pane you get a new window.  Pressing spacebar scrolls to the end of the message but doesn't then jump to a new message like it does in the main window.  I would like to add behaviour so that it does the same as the main window (ie jumps to the next
unread message not in trash).

Following the discussion under bug101811, I agree that the existing keybindings would be appropriate for navigation from the keyboard while in the full message window, i.e.

spacebar	page down
spacebar	next message if at bottom of current message
up arrow	scroll up in current message
down arrow	scroll down in current message
right arrow	next message
left arrow	previous message

The only odd thing about this is, would you ever need to scroll left/right within a message? Say a large graphic or something? How would you do that if left/right aren't for scrolling?

Also I would like to see a keystroke for "next unread message" and "previous unread message". Maybe shift-arrow? The other combination I had suggested was

. (period)		next
, (comma)		previous
> (i.e. shift - .)	next unread
< (i.e. shift - ,)	previous unread

see other discussion in bug101811. Thanks!

Keypad + and - navigate next/last unread in the regular message list, so that's a natural set to use. One question is _what_ should be navigated; the original reporter of #101811 suggested that the _thread_ should be navigated -- or perhaps the folder the message was in when it was opened. I'm not sure how this should interact with changing folders. moving messages around, etc. (Wishlist item confirmed in accordance to joke in 101811).
