I like to use left/right to navigate between previous/next (read or unread) messages, and Esc to close popup windows. These don't seem to be available for configuring. Reproducible: Always
> Esc to close popup windows. ? That's a system feature - and should actually work on "linux" (whether you mean popup menus or modal dialogs - latter are canceled by esc) What window are you talking about in particular and on which desktop environment (ie. Qt QPA)
To be clear I only use it for, and only want "Esc" to close specifically the pop-up "view email" window. I definitely do not want to to close other windows in general.

Git commit d45708b884f1948279e6505dc80676baca6385e6 by Jan Kundrát. Committed on 02/02/2016 at 00:22. Pushed by gerrit into branch 'master'. GUI: Add an action for closing of standalone message windows Unfortunately, one cannot use the GUI to assign for example "Esc" for this particular shortcut because the GUI settings dialog intercepts that one, and closes itself. However, assigning some other key for this action and editing the config file afterwards works. I've also double-checked that the signal-slots are correct, and that only one popup window is closed when pressing that shortcut. This is an alternative to https://gerrit.vesnicky.cesnet.cz/r/538 .

I think that the commit listed in comment #4 is as good as one can make it -> closing. Please reopen if you disagree.
