Description alb348 2014-02-16 00:24:41 UTC

(this feature request is a spin-off of bug/enhancement 3083)

I am requesting a new command to be added to the View menu: "View message in new window", which should produce the same effect as double clicking on the message with the mouse.

This enhancement should allow the user to open a message in a new window, without using the mouse. This result will be achieved by assigning a keybinding (Enter or any other key) to the proposed command in the View menu.

Just played with this idea...  if I understand your requirement correctly, try this...
  Change these key bindings:
    View->Open in new window  _to_  Alt+Up
    File->Close  _to_  Alt+Down

Works for me whether message pane is open or closed...  I like it...  :)

Claws rocks!!

A minor point if you use Focus follows mouse -- leave the mouse where the main and message windows overlap, and you can go through messages quickly with just up/down and Alt+up/down.

Wll, this is embarrassing for me. The command that I requested already existed. I had not looked attentively enough. Sorry for the confusion.

I have tried to define its keyninding to Enter, but I was note able to (although I was able to bind it to ctrl+Enter and Alt+Enter).

Does anyone know how to bind it to Enter?
