Shortcuts not mapped on quick search box

[tomasmez]

hello.

I think this release note for supernova: - Do not capture keys in the quick search box on Thunderbird 115+ Is affecting how I work.

normally i would go
SHIFT-G or SHIFT-M and start typing.

Many of my folders start with a capital C. I have this shortcut disabled. but since supernova this shortcut appears enabled on the search box for the extension.
Im not sure why, but the cursor does not appear on the entry box for the text in the quick search box and I end up marking all messages as read which is not very nice.
It would not be so problematic if thunderbird would let me undo this change. but its not always in the list of actions to undo so i lose my read/unread status for lal mails in my inbox.

I would like to see an option to keep the mapped key bindings in the search box too (or make consistent that the sarchbox sticks with the cursor ready to type in the search query).

Thanks

Hmm, the note you refer to is talking about the text input that gets selected for me by ctrl+shift+k (quick search box). What do shift+g and shift+m do for you? They do not seem bound for me. I did get C to clear unread status from the quick search box one time while testing after I disabled tbkeys, but it usually did not.

Hello.
Im sorry i did not express correctly.
i have the extension quick folder move by Philipp Kewisch installed.

This extension opens a searchbox at the quicksearch bar and the shortcuts are not remapped there.

When this search box is open. sometimes the focus is not put in the search box to start typing and the shortcuts are not blocked anymore. I type C and i mark all mail in folder as read by mistake.

These are my settings.

Huh, that is strange. I will try to test when I can. For me, Quick Folder Move is not working well with 115 under Linux (similar to this comment, I can't get the shortcuts to work at all). It seems like whatever is getting focus is matching the criteria tbkeys uses to check for text input fields but is not actually a text input according to Thunderbird.

Under Windows the situation was similar since they changed how it works.

The new shortcut method did not work either and i reverted to the legacy mode under 115..

you can always click on the top right dropdown.
If you hover the mouse pointer over the list. the writing prompt will switch to the select mode and then you will see the shortcuts are enabled again. This is the situation that is bringing me headaches because i do certain global actions that mess my inbox.

In my opinion single key shortcuts are a mistake a a general idea and is the main issue with thunderbird. This extension was perfect for me until 115.

Sorry to leave another bump on this issue but the shortcuts reenabled are killing me.

the issuse seems to appear when you hoover over the dropdown and it automatically highlights the folder below the mouse pointer removing the cursor from the type prompt
