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.

Agree, I don't think it makes sense to use only arrow keys for movement between messages. 'j' and 'k' is more practical in combination with e.g. marking a message as unread, since the hand can stay on the home row. Likewise, I wish 'o' could be used for opening emails. The current function of 'j' and 'k' could be mapped to 'shift-j' and 'shift-k'. And the easiest way to make everyone happy is of course being able to customize the shortcuts...

Currently, ProtonMail has keyboard shortcuts, but there's no way to modify them.
In my current Gmail setup, I've mapped "i" to be "go to inbox, "j" is used to navigate to the next message, "k" is used to navigate to the previous message, "u" is used to mark a message unread, etc.
Being able to rebind these key would be really awesome!
