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.

If I'm using j/k to navigate the inbox, o to open a message is less of a reach than using the left/right arrow keys.

+1 for move to folder with a keyboard shortcut.

Even just an option to use the gmail version of the keyboard shortcuts would help! I constantly hit the wrong keys in protonmail :(

Please implement more keyboard shortcuts for managing mail message. An example would be keyboard shortcuts to open the "Move to folder" and "Apply label" dialog. This is similar to GMail's shortcut, when you have a message(s) selected and press the "v" key. Currently I have to mouse around to do this, and organizing messages is such a core feature, I don't think using the mouse each and every time should be necessary.

I specifically just want the gmail style "l" key to apply labels to selected messages from the inbox view. Having to switch to mouse is really slowing me down when sorting through a group of new messages.

I'd love for ProtonMail to make this configurable or at least mimic Gmail and Fastmail. That seems like the uniform standard.

I agree. The "t" for trash is problematic when trying to open a new browser tab.

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!
