keyboard navigation in thread pane
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
If I click on a thread in the "Thread pane" and use CursorUp or CursorDown I would expect the focus to be in the "Thread pane" and select the previous/next thread. Instead the article will get moved a bit. Moreover, it would be cool if Pos1 and End in the "Thread pane" would move to the first/last thread. Right now, I will have to use Ctrl+Pos1 and Ctrl+End to achieve this. If I use CursorUp or CursorDown in the Thread pane and press Space, I would expect the marked article to be displayed. Instead the next article will get displayed. I use Opera as my browser, and like the Shift+Space feature that acts as an inverse space, i.e., Space scrolls down one page and Shift+Space scrolls up one page. PS: I am using Pan 0.11.4

I like this idea. So two of these are already done; marking the other two for bluesky (probably post-0.13)
PS. I appreciate all the feedback, but you would probably have a better feel for what Pan's current features are if you were to upgrade from 0.11.4 to 0.12.91.
Well, I had a *really* hard time getting 0.11.4. installed. I am using glibc-2.2-17 and qt-2.2.3-7 so I don't think I can run the latest Pan version. The main reasons why I _really_ wanted to try Pan are: it's quite popular in opera.linux, it fully supports GNKSA, Sylpheed kinda sucks, I am in the process of test driving a couple of newsreader (Mozilla, tin, Sylpheed, Pan) so far. I am not gonna update my OS anytime soon but maybe I'll buy a new computer at the end of the year (or maybe I'll wait until bluesky ;-)).
The 'inverted space' is implemented in 0.13.1, so only home/end need to be done to close this off. Marking for 0.14.0 milestone.
