## Description/Usage



### Change Focus Using Up/Down Cursor Keys



When **Show reading pane** is selected in Fastmail Settings:



Press `←` to select mailbox pane, and `→` to select reading pane.



`↑` and `↓` cursor keys can be used (in addition to `J` and `K`) to change focus inside mailbox pane.



`↑` and `↓` cursor keys can be used (in addition to `P` and `N`) to change focus inside reading pane.



When **Hide reading pane** is selected in Fastmail Settings:



`↑` and `↓` cursor keys can be used (in addition to `J` and `K`) to change focus inside mailbox pane. 



`↑` and `↓` cursor keys can be used (in addition to `P` and `N`) to change focus inside reading pane.



### Faster Switch between Search Modes



Pressing the "repeat arrow" button cyclically switches three different search modes:



- Search anywhere (default)

- Search in subject and body

- Search in subject only














### Easier Button Operation in Reading Pane



Requirement: `Group messages with their replies` is enabled in Fastmail Settings



An set of extra control buttons are presented on the right-bottom corner of the window. The following will be included (from left to right)



- Reload page

- Toggle uncluttered-view mode

- Focus previous message in conversation

- Focus next message in conversation

- Toggle currently focused message

- Ungroup/Expand messages

- Collapse messages

- Toggle show/hide extra control









### Extra Shortcut Keys



If enabled, extra shortcut keys view will be added



- Switch between search modes: `Control + Shift + M`

- Toggle uncluttered-view mode: `Control + Shift + L`

- Toggle show/hide extra control: `Control + ,`

- Toggle currently focused message: `Enter` (in addition to the default `E`)

- Ungroup/Expand messages: `Shift + Enter` (in addition to the default `Shift + E`)

- Collapse messages: `Shift + Option/Alt + Enter` (in addition to the default `Shift + Option/Alt + E`)

### Fix Problem in Using IME inside Search Box



When entering Japanese (or some other language) in Fastmail's search input, using the IME to enter text requires pressing the Enter key before completing the input. Fastmail's Web UI performs the search at the moment the Enter key is hit even though the search string is completed. Fastmail Plus fixes this problem.



### Extra Reply-to Folding



Fold the "reply-to" part of messages (when the message's  div has an `id` containing `appendonsend`)



### Maximize Reading-pane Width



When enabled, the message/compose/note panes are maximized to the actual window width. This option is disabled by default.






### Resizable Textarea
