Move mail to folder using CTRL+Number not working

[herve-debar]

Hi, I used to be able to move a selected message to a QuickFolder folder by +. I initially did it with ALT (Command) on MAC but it stopped working a while ago. This doesn't seem to work anymore.

is something missing here? Maybe CTRL+Number or something? If you can please respond directly from the Github website, replies by Email get stuff wrong, and the editor here is friendly (support Markdown).

Also take a look at this:

it links to an instruction on #387 that is specific to Thunderbird 115 (and later)

Here are a few additions.
I have Thunderbird 128.1.0esr on MacOS Sonoma version 14.6.1.
On the above I have the "use Ctrl instead of Alt" checked.
If I understand correctly your comment to #387 I must install and configure tbkeys-lite ?
However, the configuration you propose for tbkeys-lite touches "ALT", not "CTRL". Should it not work with CTRL if the box is checked ?
Best.

that's correct. because otherwise Thunderbird gobbles up these keystrokes.

I am not a specialist on MacOS (only Mac device I currently have is an iPad) but you can try ALT (= Command) without the checkbox or CTRL with the checkbox. Both sets of shortcuts are heavily occupied by Thunderbird, by default.

looks like we found a regression. the ctrl+Number shortcut was filtered for keyup events only but the last fix for Tb128 only looks at keydown events.
Here is a quickfix:

QuickFolders-mx-6.7.1pre8.zip

---

To try the version above download zip file and drag the file into Thunderbird Add-ons Manager (do not extract contents, it won't install like that)

Works !
And it's good because the tbkeys-lite addon default config seems to break another shortcut I frequently use !
Thanks !

nice one - tbkeys lite comes with a lot of presets that you may not agree with so I would delete the lines that don't apply. I will close this issue when I publish a patched version of QuickFolders (shortly)

[RealRaven2000]

By the way just for the record - this issue was caused by working on #491

Will there perhaps soon be an update that fixes the problem described?
I can't get the zip file mentioned above to install. TB would like an xpi file ... :-(

it should work by pulling it into the Add-ons Manager, but you can always rename it to fileName.xpi instead. factually that is the same format.

Thanks for the help. It is now working perfectly again!
And a big compliment. This is the TB extension I use the most. I immediately extended my pro license.
