Hi,

I love TB and was so happy to see 78 it is a perfect email app so that is clear. Thanks for it and all the efforts. First thing after update for me was to check if I can remove some of the drive me nuts keyboard shortcuts.

Why? They drive my nuts. Typically when I use search field - sometimes I miss-click, or the app was not active, and I start typing what I am looking for and guess what... threads go to junk or are red, archived...depending on the key I press. Even though I touch type still I am too fast :)

Any chance to give a freedom to change it so I can love it even more? There was an add-on but for older versions :( Maybe someone has solution.

Thanks, WH

sfhowes, I wish you all the best. I think I've tried this with pre 78 but after 68 version of TB and it was a problem.

Have nice weekend. My life is brighter now!
