Not really, but it would using Matcha more efficient.

Describe the solution you'd like

Hi!

Matcha's key bindings are very intuitive.

Would it make sense to add some "power user" key bindings (which are maybe not shown in the status bar, only in the help popup) to be able to scroll and select across panes?

  • J/K -- scroll or select in current view (current behaviour)
  • Shift+J/K -- select directory
  • Ctrl+J/K -- select email
  • Alt+J/K -- scroll email content
  • Ctrl+Alt+J/K -- choose attachment

(or arrows respectively)

For example, if you read an email in split pane view, J/K (and Alt+J/K) would just scroll the email body content.

Staying in the email body pane you could select and directory (Shift+J/K; email list would update), then an email (Ctrl+J/K;email body would update) and read and scroll the new email body.

Love matcha, but miss some of aerc's efficiency.
