<p dir="auto">Off topic to all list users: I've seen a few users on the list using “MailMate” in their mailing list user names. I'm afraid this could lead to confusion since it makes it look like official replies (from me). It's also a bit confusing when multiple posters have the same name. I would prefer the use of some anonymous handle or a real name. (I have no problem with <code>mailmate</code> in the email address.)</p>

<p dir="auto">[non-consecutive selection of emails]</p>
<p dir="auto">I realize Crtl + Up/Down key are already used for Mission Control by default iirc, but one could use alt + UP/Down and space for selecting e.g . Of course there would be others shortcut to move/delete/save selected mails .</p>

<p dir="auto">The main problem is that the GUI class used for the list (NSOutlineView) does not support separating navigation and selection.</p>

<p dir="auto">It's at least interesting to explore if you can get something similar. Here is an example:</p>
<pre><code>{
"f" = ( "toggleFlag:" );
"m" = ( "selectWithFilter:", "#flags.flag = '\\Flagged'", "moveToMailbox:" );
}
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">Save that in this file (you need to create the path):</p>
<pre><code>~/Library/Application\ Support/MailMate/Resources/KeyBindings/custom.plist
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">And then add <code>custom</code> to the key bindings field in the General preferences pane.</p>
<p dir="auto">Now you should be able to hit <code>f</code> to flag emails (you can also use the default ⌥⌘L) and use <code>m</code> to open the “Move to Mailbox” interface.</p>
<p dir="auto">I've kept it as simple as possible in this example. More key bindings are needed for other actions and instead of the flag you might want to use a dedicated colored flag or a tag (and enable the Tags column and maybe use an emoji). It's not straightforward to setup, but it's very flexible. And you are welcome to ask questions.</p>
<p dir="auto">Read more about custom key bindings <a href="http://manual.mailmate-app.com/custom_key_bindings">here</a>.</p>
<p dir="auto">This is best I can offer you for now.</p>
<p dir="auto">(You might want the latest test version of MailMate since it automatically detects when a custom key bindings file is updated on disk: Hold down ⌥ when clicking “Check Now” in the Software Update preferences pane.)</p>
