Description Giulio 2012-02-29 13:56:21 UTC 
when you are editing the message body, pressing shift+tab adds a tab in the message body. It should instead move focus to "subject" field. This is the behaviour of similiar programs, and default behaviour of html forms.

This is a patch to apply on the sources, which you're obviously not using to get a working Claws Mail. You'll either have to wait for this patch to go into next release (if it does) or manually compile from the (patched) sources.

Unless I miss something, this patch breaks inserting tabs in mails.
Giulio: Use Ctrl-Shift-Tab to go back to subject. This is a GTK+ issue.

thanks

Works fine here (GTK+ 2.18.9), I see no interference w/ tab or other keys.
Comment 7 Colin Leroy 2012-02-29 22:35:18 UTC 
Oh! *Left* Tab ! Missed the "left" part. :)
