Quick Folder Key Navigation Version History

13 versions

Be careful with old versions!

These versions are displayed for reference and testing purposes. You should always use the latest version of an add-on.

Version 4.1 12.2 KiB Works with Thunderbird 115.0 and later

In this version, Go and Cancel buttons have been added to the QuickNav dialog, as well as a combo box for controlling how much of the folder name is spoken by screen readers. A small issue that could affect JAWS has also been fixed.

Version 4.0 9.3 KiB Works with Thunderbird 115.0 and later

The add-on has been updated to make it compatible with Thunderbird version 115.0 and later. Due to the major overhaul of the Thunderbird user interface, it has not been possible to make Quick Folder Key Navigation work as it used to, simply by typing letters while the mail folder tree had the focus. To quickly jump to a folder, it is now necessary to iether press F4 or click the QuickNav button on the Folder Pane Header to open the QuickNav pop-up. Then, start typing a folder name into the search field and the first matching folder will be displayed beneath it. You can either continue typing to narrow down the set of matches or use the up and down arrow keys to scroll through the set of matching foldres. Once you've found the desired folder, press the ENTER key to jump directly to it. If you change your mind and don't want to leave the current folder, simply press the Escape key to close QuickNav.

Please be aware that this new incarnation of the add-on is a work in progress and more work is needed to improve the user experience.

Note for JAWS users: If you have Forms Mode set to Manual, it is necessary to press enter when the QuickNav dialog opens in order to type into the search box. As this is extremely inconvenient, it is recommended that you uncheck the "Disable forms Mode when a new page is loaded" option in JAWS Settings Center. This will cause you to be placed into the edit field immediately when the QuickNav dialog opens. Alternatively, this can also be achieved by setting Forms Mode to anything other than Manual.
