Improve keyboard shortcuts (gmail like)
Gmail's keyboard shortcuts are basically an industry standard and something many have become used to. e for archive is a must, and the l and v shortcuts are crucial as well.

It would be nice if the keyboard shortcut to reply (R) and others were enabled for any email in the list of emails in a folder (not just in the open email). This suggestion also applies to access to the Reply and Forward buttons.

We got the "move to folder" key sequence 👏
Now you just need to finish keyboard access to labels. I can select the message (though that seems a little glitchy) and I can invoke the label menu … but I can't apply the labels.
You're almost there. Labels and moving are HUGE for me, and I suspect many others feel the same.

This is my biggest frustration with the web app.
Also, is this still monitored? Never really see any replies.

@Joel, the current shortcuts do include navigating messages with j/k. However, one must first click a message.
See this feature request to add for an ability to enter navigation without using the mouse: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/284483-protonmail/suggestions/42701177--start-me-somewhere-with-keyboard-shortcuts-100

I am pretty desperate for these too. The Gmail shortcuts are intuitive to a vim user, and have way more convenient hand placement. Having the Gmail shortcuts as an option in settings would be really helpful.

I'm really sad that the shortcuts seem to have changed with the web update.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE try to implement this. You can even have a template for Outlook users, Gmail users, or mimic vi commands. If nothing else, let the user pick what the shortcuts should be. It's such a productivity killer not being able to customize keyboards. I'm even willing to learn Proton's keyboard shortcuts but there's no way to move the email to Folders/Labels.

This would be really handy. Being able to navigate the email list view with j / k, mark as read/unread with shift+i and shift+u, archive with e, and delete with #. Those are the ones I always tended to use the most.

For how immensely useful and simple this feature is, it can't be too hard to implement can it?

I'd really like this too. I'd at least like shortcuts for "next and mark read"

Please add a shortcut for "move to folder" and key customization for other actions.

I think ProtonMail can customize keyboard shortcut is final solution to solve all user behavior.

Use ESC key to back mail list is not good and like Gmail use U key to do it is more fast and convenient.

This is the biggest issue holding me back from migrating. I'm a paying customer and will remain one to support the product, but It's not clear to me whether I will switch yet - and primarily due to keyboard shortcuts and the less-convenient conversation view. I'm used to very rapidly doing *everything* using the keyboard.
Just in general, it just seems like a huge adoption helper if everyone who's on gmail could just feel instantly at home. Perhaps us keyboard shortcut users are in a small minority, but among that set I think it would really help.

This is the one major reason I don't switch fully to Protonmail. Please provide a choice of keyboard shortcut (i.e. proton or gmail)... or harmonize with the industry standard. thanks -
