Keyboard Shortcut “Mark as read and go to previous Unread”
-
There is 2 keyboard shortcuts theoretically* very usefull in Vivaldi Mail Client :
- Next Unread
- Previous Unread
*Theoretically, because they don't work. I just opened a bugreport VB-78836 about it.
There is also another great shortcut: “Mark as Read and go to next Unread”, but unfortunately there is no “Mark as Read and go to previous Unread” which would also be very very useful. This shortcut existed in Opera M2, and was associated with the key T.
Thank you very much for your consideration, the mail client is amazing

Same request here, I've resisted switching away from Opera 12 because I can't find "mark as read and go to next newer" in any other email client, and I like to start each day at the oldest new email and read forward. But more and more it's a bad idea to run 10 year old internet software...
Working around it by sorting emails oldest to newest, because "k" Mark Read goes downward, but I miss having keys to mark read in both directions.

@Stereog This should be possible with a Command Chain. I tried, but could not get it to work. Maybe you can.
-
@Pesala Yeah, as above the Next/Previous Unread functions don't work at all, otherwise maybe a chain would be possible. The up arrow does move in the direction I want, but I don't see a way to make it send a keypress in a Command Chain (or how to look up the name of the up arrow's command in this context)

Set shortcut keys for options highlighted below provides the functionality.
NB: order of traversal is old to new regardless of sort by order. For example the following sort order is old to new and traversal is repeated Previous Unread then Next Unread; animated GIF loop 3 times only — refresh page to replay.
and with sort order, new to old.

@yojimbo274064400 I think this is VB-97773
[Mail] 'next' message depends on mail list sorting order -
Thanks for the demo, I played around with it and can maybe add useful context for VB-78836:
The Next/Previous Unread buttons specifically do not work in the "Unread" view of mail. If it's on "Received" or other folder views then they do work...
Similarly, Command Chains using them, as well as "Mark Message Read and go to Next Unread" only do not work in the "Unread" view, but do work for other views. (but if you filter with 'Read' then it stops working)
I guess maybe this indicates I should manage my email a different way, currently I basically bin it into Unseen (new mail), Unread (things I have to take action on), and Read (things I don't need to see, but want a searchable copy) so the "Unread" view shows me only relevant email, while "Received" has a bunch of junk in between the relevant ones. The key shortcuts to 'hide and go to next up/next down' or just 'go to next up/next down' makes it quick for me to navigate a day worth of new email.

Right, Unread is where "now and later" happens, and the rest is just for finding things. But you should not change your behavior because a bug, even if it's an old one

As it turns out, that is already filed as Vb-95389
Allow "Prev/Next Unread" keys to work in "Unread" mailbox ... I think this just needs a bit of love from the devs.
