Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Accessibility issue.

There are keyboard shortcuts for activating different functions in the Mail app. Shortcuts such as these can interfere with shortcuts used by some assistive technologies.

Because of this the character key shortcuts should be replaced.

Suggested solution

  • Give an option to turn off keyboard shortcuts
  • Set them to only be active when the user is in the area they affect
  • Test so the shortcuts don’t interfere with screen reader commands

Please make sure that the shortcuts don’t interfere with screen reader commands (NVDA, Jaws, Orca).
