Improve efficiency of "Move messages to" action
The "Move messages to" action/menu recently changed, and resulted in an increase of required clicks to perform that action. This is significant for me, as I do a lot of organizing of emails into folders. Just one extra click adds up to a lot of extra work for me.
There are two use cases that I would like to see improved:
First use case:
1) Select emails to move
2) Click "Move messages to" button
3) Click the desired folder from the list
Done!
After the recent change, there is an extra step:
4) Click the "Move" button
***** Will you please let the action be completed by just clicking the folder? *****
Second use case:
1) Select emails to move
2) Click "Move messages to" button
3) Type in a filter
4) Press tab to highlight the folder
5) Press spacebar to select the folder
6) Press enter to complete the action (THIS NO LONGER WORKS)
After the recent change, now we must instead:
6) Press tab several times in order to highlight the "Move" button
7) Press enter
**** Will you please allow the action to be completed by pressing Enter without first highlighting the "Move" button? ****

Fully agree. The previous behaviour was very flexible and fast. The new behaviour is very rigid and slower, and can only applied in a very narrow scenario: when a user always wants to move all the messages from the same sender to the same folder.
The new behaviour does not work when a user wants to distribute messages from the same sender to different folders that change depending on subject. It also does not work when a user uses the inbox to triage incoming messages and manage their tasks based on what is left over in the inbox (never mind the inbox always appears to be overflowing, but having unread messages automatically spread out across various folders just adds more workload).
If Proton just re-enabled immediate moving of messages as soon as one clicks on any one folder that would return to the simple and flexible workflow we had before.
