A simple Thunderbird extension that adds keyboard shortcuts to quick-filter messages with the same sender, subject, or recipient as a selected message.
Selecting a message and pressing one of the following default key-combinations opens the Quick Filter toolbar and filters messages that share the following properties with the selected message :
Default Shortcut Key | Property |
---|---|
Alt+Shift+A | same author (sender) |
Alt+Shift+S | same subject |
Alt+Shift+R | same recipient(s) |
The default shortcut keys can be changed in the entry Manage Extension Shortcuts of the gear-icon-menu on the page of the add-on in the Add-ons Manager (see the screenshot below).
This extension is based on the sample extension quick-filter from the official sample-extensions repository and can be easily modified by following the official documentation for writing extensions.
Install directly from the Thunderbird Add-Ons repository.
