Quick Folder Move

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

I mainly wanted to have an addon to quickly move mails to folders without having to use the mouse and keep my fingers on the keyboard.

After using the shortcut shift-m to move a message, the focus of the application is not in the message list anymore. So after moving a mail with the keyboard shortcut, a click with the mouse is necessary to start navigating messages again. It would be really nice, if the addon would keep the focus where it is when invoking the shortcut.

The second issue is, that the folder suggestions are not shown on repeated usage of the shortcut. After setting the focus back to the message list and invoking the shortcut again, the last entered filter string is still visible in the filter textbox, but no folders are shown below. To get a new list of folders, the already entered string must be modified or deleted. The expected behaviour is, that the last shown folder suggestions are shown again and that the previously entered text is selected. This behaviour would be convenient as the first suggested folder is the last used folder for the case that the folder is again the target folder or one could just type another target without having to select the text in the filter box.
