Lets you remove all single-key commands that are inexplicably forced upon us by Thunderbird. Just click "Unset singles" and change everything to "unset" (unless you like Gmail shortcuts).

Finally, a replacement for "Dorando keyconfig"! Thank you! No more accidental archiving or marking as junk.

I'm dinging it one star for ease of use because there are no instructions in the add-on itself. It works great, though. The documentation is a little thin, and requires some effort to figure out how to make your own shortcuts, if you're into that kind of thing. Mostly, I just wanted to get rid of the single button shortcuts, which this does easily.

Working great for me! Allowed me to rebind 'j' and 'k' to stop marking things as junk/ignore. (Vim shortcut typos)

Why does this plugin ask for FULL access to my computer upon installation?

Because tbkeys-lite uses a WebExtension Experiment to capture key events. There is no WebExtension API to do this. A WebExtension Experiment has the same permissions as all legacy add-ons had in Thunderbird 68 and earlier. I have opened a ticket on Bugzilla about creating a MailExtension keyboard shortcut API here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1591730

Absolute godsend. I can't believe I didn't know this existed before now. Thunderbird hotkeys are an abomination!

HALLELUJAH!

I was dismayed when Keyconfig no longer worked and did not seem to get updated. Been deleting, archiving and doing unmentionable things to perfectly good messages in my Inbox when not paying attention to where the focus was.
I even contemplated moving to Apple Mail...

THIS HAS SAVED THE DAY!!!!!!

THANK YOU, WILL!!!!!!!

Thank you very much! I've been filing and deleting emails by mistake for 2 years, because of that mania of putting single-letter hotkeys. What a crazy idea.

And, as sayed by Frederik below,...

very useful.
I would like to figure out what would be the syntax of a custom a custom entry to launch a given extension with a single key stroke (for instance launch a TB extension that allows to edit message subject)

Can I remap "J" to CTRL-J or smth? For marking SPAM.

Works excellently to disable all these pesky one-letter abbreviations, which wreck havoc when the focus is not where it is expected.
Note that the preset button "unset singles" in the Settings dialogue does not quite do what it promises. While it removes destructive short-cuts, it replaces them with other less dangerous, but still annoying short-cuts.

Actually, looking at implementation.js, turns out it is pretty simple change to allow existing syntax with multiple commands, and not needing custom functions:

diff --git a/addon/implementation.js b/addon/implementation.js
index 5a740f2..f44bf40 100644
--- a/addon/implementation.js
+++ b/addon/implementation.js
@@ -143,7 +143,9 @@ var TBKeys = {
let cmdBody = command.slice(cmdType.length + 1)
switch (cmdType) {
case "cmd":
- window.goDoCommand(cmdBody)
+ for (let cmd of cmdBody.split(" ")) {
+ window.goDoCommand(cmd)
+ }
break
case "func":
window[cmdBody]()


Then, one can just do:
"n": "cmd:cmd_collapseAllThreads cmd_nextMsg",

Works fine, for complex combination I modified implementation.js and add the personal function inside builtins

Does exactly what I needed; remap some of the single shortcut keys so that when using quick filter to search my mail, I don't inadvertently archive, delete, or forever fubar my messages - Greatly appreciate the simplicity.

It works, but it is a bit hard to use. I managed to bind a key to “Search events and tasks” so I'm happy.
You will find explanations on the official website [1] and have to search for the precise command name with the DOM explorer (Ctrl + Shift + I) [2].

I just needed to replace the close tab on escape add on and it was easy. Finding the correct operators is a bit hard and so far I can't get it to work in the compose window at all.

Nice and easy to unbind all the keys, only one I've found to still work.
Open the add on, scroll to the bottom, click 'unset singles', click save, done. Thanks.
