That's an error, I think. "M" and "L" are set up as accelerators for the Move and Add Label menus but there's no associated event handler. That, I think, is the problem.

I've ticketed that as well: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720431

Good catch!

Hi,

another question indirectly related to this: in the source code i saw that it should be possible to trigger e.g. move conversation by pressing m on the keyboard, is that right?

But it doesn't work for me.

It would be great to be able to move or copy conversations byleyboard for me. Can this be fixed easily? Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Joey

This isn't intentional on our part. I believe it's a toolkit (GTK) issue.

I looked and realized this isn't ticketed, although I can reproduce this too. So I've ticketed it here:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720416

One workaround is to press and hold the button. The menu will appear but won't select a folder. You can then move the mouse to make a selection. It's not perfect, but should help.

Hi I am using Geary 0.4.3 in LinuxMint 14 with XFCE 4.10 desktop environment. I linked my Gmail account to geary mail. I have lots of 'label's in my gmail account. Now suppose I open a mail within geary and when click to 'add label' or 'move conversation' menu in geary, the list of labels runs over the 'add label' and 'move conversation' icon respectively. Also at this position geary does not wait for another mouse click and selects which one is highlighted at that moment (left mouse down, opens list of label-->left mouse release, geary selects the label and mail moves to that label). So, at this point user dont gets to select the label unless he/she keeps holding the left mouse button which is difficult. In addition, if users mistakenly release the left mouse button, mail moves to some unwanted label. I don't know whether this is deliberately done this way to reduce the number of mouse click or something else, but this one currently the single-most annoying feature for me in geary. Also, in case, the problem is difficult to understand from the above text, I attached a screen-shot of the problem here where I just did a left mouse down on 'move conversation' icon and now if I release the left lfet mouse button, the mail will move to the highlighted label. With regards Tanmoy
