I tend to use NVDA+f2 to "pass next key through", rather than NVDA+space.

I'm not so keen on the idea of customising the buffer for Thunderbird. If we do want this, I think I prefer the idea of a mode to disable quick nav keys.

Would it be easily possible to disable quick navigation by default for thunderbird message view now that #3203 (disabling quick navigation keys with shift+nvda+space) is there?

This would be great to have

@LeonarddeR is this somehow addressed by the PR #8846 which has been recently merged allowing browse mode to be disabled by default? Or is that working only for browsers?

@Adriani90: Disabling browse mode by default should work for thunderbird, yes. However, disabling browse mode also destroys the ability to navigate through the message content, so is definitely not what one would do when working nonvisually.

Ok, this works quite good when disabling quick navigation with nvda+shift+space bar. But quick navigation gets automatically enabled after a dialog is displayed or when the cursor jumps to another area on the thunderbird window.
Is it possible to turn off quick navigation for an application entirely until you press nvda+shift+space bar again?

I am onl keyboard layout Laptop.

Hmm this behavior seems to have changed in Thunderbird 68.3.0 and NVDA alpha 19420,a2c6f0f8.
I cannot really reproduce this anymore.
Is anyone able to reproduce this?

Ok, I am closing this issue since I cannot reproduce it and I didn't hear any further user reports on this.
Closing as owrks for me.
