Description Behdad Esfahbod 2008-01-20 01:33:27 UTC 
When in the message list pane, I want to be able to move around without having to move my hands to the arrow keys or the Insert/Delete block...

I suggest GMail/vim-style keybindings to be added, something like:

  D to delete current message
  J like arrow down
  K like arrow up

Those are the threaa I really care about.

that's against the HIG. you always need some kind of ctrl+ or alt+ stuff.
Comment 2 Behdad Esfahbod 2008-01-20 17:14:11 UTC 
HIG is only guidelines though...
Comment 3 André Klapper 2013-07-24 19:23:20 UTC 
Ctrl+D works, and arrow keys too, or Ctrl+Page down.
No plans to implement a third way which is against the HIG, sorry.
