Table of Contents.About keyboard shortcutsIn Thunderbird, keyboard shortcuts are context sensitive. That is, they vary according to the area of the Thunderbird interface that is currently 'active'. For example, when a message is selected in the message list, the Cut, Copy and Paste keyboard shortcuts are disabled (because it doesn't make sense to cut and paste text into the message list).
Similarly, if you select text while you are reading a message, the Copy shortcut is available, but not the Cut or Paste shortcuts (because while it makes sense to copy text from a message you are reading, it doesn't make sense to paste text into or cut text from a message you are reading).Sometimes the keyboard shortcut functions themselves vary depending on the part of the Thunderbird interface that is active. For example, if you are writing a message, the Ctrl + A Command + A keyboard shortcut selects all the text in the message.
However, if a message is highlighted in the message list, Ctrl + A Command + A selects all the messages in the message list.Customize or disable keyboard shortcutsSome (but not all) keyboard shortcuts can be customized using an add-on. This can also be useful to disable certain shortcuts, for example to prevent unexpected behavior from single-key shortcuts.(an updated version of the original ) and are examples of add-ons that help to customize or disable shortcuts.(Note that third-party add-ons are not supported or endorsed by Mozilla.
