It works for me under GNOME as well, so I wonder if it's also related 
to XFCE not displaying the app menu? Although this has been reported 
against 0.11.0: <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766601> so 
it's not necessarily related to the gear menu being replaced with an 
app menu.

There may also be some weirdness with how Geary sets up keyboard 
accelerators using the older GtkActions, which may be fixed once we 
migrate the application's actions to use GAction instead.

There's a few keyboard navigation shortcuts documented in the Keyboard 
Shortcuts page of the User Guide Geary that Geary ships with. It's also 
mostly conformant to the standard GNOME keyboard navigation guidelines 
documented here: 
<https://developer.gnome.org/hig/stable/keyboard-input.html.en>

Also, keynav will be changing a bit in 0.12, as a result of the the GTK 
widgets work and the port to WebKit2GTK, hopefully for the better.

However if there's anything that is specifically not possible using the 
built-in keyboard navigation, then please do file a new bug for it (if 
a bug for it doesn't aleeady exist). Things like having a keyboard 
shortcuts like Ctrl+1/Ctrl+2/etc for switching between accounts might 
make some sense, for example.
