Let the EX-Outlook users know in a good way that there's a searchbar instead... its alot faster to click once in the searchbar print what to search for and then enter. than it is to click a specific column and then print what to search for. It's easier finding messages from "Tom" if you just use the searchbar. Why didnt they make any sense? I've never used pine that much but N for next is pretty obvious, so is P for previous too, and Q for quickview. What I'd really like is these "features" to be added as OPTIONS which could be turned off and that I can specify my own short-cut keys for commands that have them. > Yes, the current next/prev/toggle preview bindings totally suck, but > that doesn't mean that the new behavior isn't useful or that they can't > be fixed. I think that moving the ` key away should be first priority before 1.2 comes out. AND make it lock on the KeySum instead so that I can use the § key where the ` is on an american keyboard. So everyone uses the same key but different character. But this would ofcourse be fixed if I could specify my own short-cuts.. > -- Dan -- Mårten Woxberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> University of Linköping
