When Nostalgy is running, ESC no longer closes email..
Today, I have been delighted to see that Nostalgy++ (version 4.1.2) is now available again in my Linux / Thunderbird 115.4.1
But I face the same annoying behaviour: the <Esc>
key no longer allows to close a message window. By the way, the <Alt>F4
or the <Ctrl>F4
sequences are still working (Edit: as well as <Ctrl>w
).
Furthermore, the <Esc>
key is no longer effective when trying to close a search field after opening it with <Ctrl>F
. There is maybe some other uses of <Esc>
that are disabled as well…
I noticed that the 4.1. version of Nostalgy++ contains the "in quickfilter, esc is handled normally. So use ctrl shift k to get there, use quickfilter, then empty and/or close with esc" feature.
I guess the <Esc>
event is maybe caught too aggressively?
(BTW, the last available version available here is 4.1.1, thus I do not understand why I am currently using the 4.1.2 version, after today's auto update)
I don't know if it is the same thing, but I find that using Q
to quick-filter on the sender, then using Esc
to return to the full view breaks the use of quickfilter.
Q
to quick filter on the senderEsc
did nothing, so I put the focus on the text box (with the email being quick-filtered), hit Esc
Q
does nothing nowQ
works again in the same awayTB-115.4.2, nostalgy++ 4.1.2
I am seeing the same thing. It only happens when one moves away from the open email to another window, and then back. If one hits escape right away, without moving to another window, the behavior is as expected. If the addon is disabled, there is no unexpected behavior. Thanks for all of the work to get it this far.
Any update on this? It is really annoying. Can you give us the options to choose if we want to surrender the ESC key to Nostalgy?
Hello,
I just wanted to highlight this issue again. If it can be fixed, it would be very appreciated. I am a long-time user and have donated to the effort (thanks for your work!). Closing emails with ESC is essential, as it is the expected behavior in many applications. It would be great if this could be fixed.
I second Izwbusr. Esc is essential. Works everywhere else in TB. Can we have an update please? It’s been almost 5 months and no feedback about this issue.
Hi:
When Nostalgy is running, ESC no longer closes email. Please fix.
