            Bug ID: 316228
           Summary: Remove default keybindings of up/down/page up/down
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.10
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: UI

I found the default binding of up/down to only scroll up/down the current
message, even when one of the other lists has the focus to be quite obnoxious
and frustrating, and just deleted those bindings.  The binding of up and down
becomes even less useful when using large monitors where you can see the
entirety of the e-mail within the message pane so there's nowhere to scroll
anyway.

Why not just let the list views and scroll views handle their own scrolling in
the natural way (up/down/page up/page down will scroll or move the cursor
within the currently focused view)?  You can certainly keep left/right as
prev/next message and other key bindings, but users coming from other
multi-view apps expect that they can use those keys to scroll within the
currently focused view.  
It seems unnecessary to bind those keys when the views should handle them in
the expected way.

Reproducible: Always
