Hi,
Thanks for nmail, it works great !
Though, as I use a french azerty keyboard, I encounter some problem with keyboard shortcuts that are not simple letters :

"<" gives "invalid input 0x3e" and it's the same for ">" or caps N (shift N), etc

hope it's clear enough
Thanks

Hi @rapha8l - while the help bar at the bottom of nmail shows upper case letters, the actual keyboard shortcuts are lower case.

Making the help bar like this was partly for aesthetic reasons and partly for consistency with the pine / alpine email clients, from which nmail draws a lot of inspiration, UI wise.

So instead of shift N, try use just n.

The keys < and > are special cases, they refer both to arrow left / right, and also to the unshifted < and > on a US keyboard (i.e. , and .). If you have arrow keys on your keyboard it might just be easiest to use them, but it's also possible to configure custom key mapping by editing ~/.nmail/ui.conf - the parameter names are key_back and key_open. Here's the default configuration for reference: https://github.com/d99kris/nmail#nmailuiconf

Hope this helps! Feel free to re-open the issue if you have any follow-up questions.
