Updated by Jim Nelson 15 days ago

  * **Status** changed from _Open_ to _Need Information_

Are you talking about the composer or the main window? For the composer, we
have that ticketed in #4848.

The main window. Sorry, I was looking at the composer bug when I filed this
one. I guess my mind went into copy mode somehow.

Anyway, to be perfectly clear, here are steps to reproduce:

    
    1. Select a conversation in the center pane of the main window  
     2. Press Tab to focus the right pane  
     3. Press Shift+Tab to focus the center pane

The focus will remain in the right pane (likely goimg to the last link in the
conversation view).

  * **Subject** changed from _In composer, Shift+Tab should move focus to conversation list_ to _ Shift+Tab should move focus from conversation viewer to conversation list_
  * **Status** changed from _Need Information_ to _Open_
  * **Target version** set to _0.5.0_

Ok, I've changed the subject line to better reflect this.

Please add Tab and Shift+Tab to the shortcut list in the documentation, once this bug is fixed. It's very handy!
Comment 2 Federico Bruni 2018-01-07 15:38:39 UTC
The shortcuts list is now visible with Ctrl+?

The current (documented) shortcuts to change focus to other panes are:

- F6/Shift F6, to move to the next/previous pane
- Ctrl-B to move to the conversation list
