Current documentation that can be updated and expanded upon:

  • Thunderbird Accessibility Features
  • Keyboard shortcuts - perform common Thunderbird tasks quickly Thanks for finding these! As always, if there's specific edits you want to make them, please make them in SUMO. I am always fine with editing/revising any SUMO drafts. if you're not sure and just have an outline or some thoughts share them here or create a Google doc or wherever is easiest/best for you because i an also fine with editing/revising Google docs or whatnot! tl;dr we are flexible!

A to-do from Elisabeth on matrix

With 115+, users can use the keyboard to manage the columns in the message list table view.

Ordering columns: In 115, on Windows you can use Alt + Left and Alt + Right to move the columns in Table View. I think this is the same keys for Linux. For macOS it's Option + L and Option + R to move the columns. This doesn't fully make sense yet, but to add/remove columns:

To remove and add columns, tab into the message list column headers. Use the left/right arrow key until you get to Select columns to display. Hit Enter. Then using the up and down keys you can check off columns you want or do not want. Use Enter to select/deselect columns.

This is from this thread: https://sunny.garden/@weirdwriter@tweesecake.social/111284773979065066.

@emitche sorry for the delay but i can't get Option + Left Arrow / Right Arrow to work on the Mac to move the columns. Alt + Left Arrow / Right Arrow works on Windows and Linux though! Any ideas on what works for Mac?

UPDATE: on macOS i have to tab to the columns after focusing on the Quick Filter search to make it work. On Windows and Linux, clicking on a column and tabbing from Quick filter works; clicking on a column in macOS doesn't work!

I just tested this and get the same result as you. I am used to navigating by keyboard to test moving the columns. Not being able to click on the column and then use the keyboard to move it is probably a bug.

If someone is using mouse, the columns are able to be dragged and dropped for reordering.

    • for macOS: image

    • for Windows and Linux: image

For macOS, it does work with keyboard navigation, but it doesn't work from a click. I might say "not working from a click on macOS" or "not fully working on macOS" or something like that.

This looks good. Thank you so much!
