In Claws 3.10, when composing a new message, I used to be able to hit Alt-D to focus on the "Header" tab. From there, I could use the down arrow to choose which From address I wanted to use. In Claws 3.11, once I get to the Header tab, down arrow no longer flips through the From addresses. Instead it moves to the next field, exactly as TAB already does. There doesn't seem to be any way to select from multiple From values via the keyboard. Please restore this valuable shortcut! Claws 3.11.1 on Ubuntu 15.04

Closes bug #3345, reported by Barry Warsaw.
This behavior (pressing down to open address/account selection instead of moving to next header line) was inconsistent with rest of that whole area, so it was removed. But you are right, there should be a way to select an account with keyboard only. That's why latest commit will allow you to press Enter while in the From address field to enter the account selection combobox. Not the same thing, but functionally the same, and hopefully it is acceptable for you.

Thanks for adding this functionality back. I'll retrain my muscle memory to hit Enter instead of down-arrow to pull up the selection combobox. I ran from git and it seemed fine, except for one minor annoyance. Previously, you'd hit Alt-D to get to the Header tab, then hit down-arrow to pull up the combobox. Two keystrokes. Now you have to hit Alt-D, then TAB to get to the address area, *then* hit Enter to pull up the combobox. Three keystrokes. Is there any way you can make Enter pull up the combobox when it's hit while sitting on the Header tab, making it two keystrokes again? IOW, Alt-D then Enter
I don't really like the approach of Alt-D + Enter, since if a focus is on the notebook header (and left/right will change notebook pages), I feel it shouldn't touch "inner" widgets until you explicitly focus into them. Instead, after latest commit, Alt-F gets you directly to the sender address line.
