Hi Community, I am using TB on macOS 78.5.1 on macOS and I want to disable the ENTER key in the message list pane. The best if it doesn't do anything, but if it could do anything different than open messages in new tab I could consider it an option. Any suggestions? Add-ons like tbkeys and likes don't seem to be working.

It is worth mentioning if somebody finds it useful, the following settings changeable in the advanced config editor provide some workaround, not very nice, but definitely better than nothing:

Changing the following setting to 2 prevents opening a single (RSS only) message in a new tab: >// Feed message display (summary or web page), on open. >// Action on double click or enter in threadpane for a feed message. >// 0 - open content-base url in new window >// 1 - open summary in new window >// 2 - toggle load summary and content-base url in message pane >// 3 - load content-base url in browser >pref("rss.show.content-base", 0);

Changing the following setting to 2 gives a warning prompt before opening more selected messages in new tabs: >// warn user if they attempt to open more than this many messages at once >pref("mailnews.open_tab_warning", 20);
