With a smaller keyboard, a numeric keypad should still be mapped somewhere.

I certainly notice occasionally I ^* to open all threads, and TB fails to respond to that. And it stays that way till I close a window, or close TB. After which the keystroke starts working again. I am not sure if that is a general bug, or fixed in recent TB releases. Haven't tried enough to find out. Most of the time it works fine. It is fairly easy not to remember to give the message list focus too. So it often seems like nothing is happening anyway. Oh, I could answer your first question another way. > On my system, shortcut * no longer opens all msgs in It won't open all messages, because it is supposed to close all messages (threads). :-) I just use * to open all threads (or metaphorically speaking, all the messages). ^ is a common symbol to abbreviate holding down a Control key while pressing another key.

Workaround: Create two global view modes: one with threads all expanded, the other not. With the shortcut keys for global view modes you can switch from one to the other. -- Best regards, Cyrille mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [ TB! 2.11.02, Windows ME 4.90 Build 3000, Pentium 233Mhz with 95MB ] Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
