           Summary: hjkl keys in preview pane
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Mandrake RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kmail-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: dan mojavelinux com


Version:           unknown (using KDE 3.1.0)
Installed from:    Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.1 3.2.2-3mdk)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.22-10mdk

In Konqueror, the "hjkl" keys can be used for scrolling and when combined with  the SHIFT key, actually exhibit a smooth scroll feature (I love that feature!).  However, not all of these keys work in correctly in the KMail preview pane, and I say "not correctly" since some of the keys work and others don't.

The "j" works fine, but then then the "k" selects all message in the message list.  Hence, you can scroll down but not up.  To remain consist, I would expect the keys that work the same in the preview pane of KMail as they do in Konqueror.  Combined with the shortcut key for "Next Message", which is "n", a user could read mail without having to use the mouse at all once the preview pane had focus.
