I used to use the HUD in Thunderbird to move email messages to different folders. I found this a useful feature in Ubuntu 12.04 as I have a lot of email folders and it is quicker to use the HUD than using the right click menu to navigate through all of my folders. I simply needed to press 'Alt' to bring up the HUD and then type "move to " (actually you could shorten this further to "mo ").

I've recently upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 and this no longer seems to work. I can still access the HUD and complete actions such as "New message" but I can't move messages to other folders.

Does anyone know why this is and if it is possible to get this functionality back?

Thanks for your help.

Please check if any of your background aplication intercept alt as a hotkey. It can also be system key, I'm not familiar with Ubuntu keyboard shortcuts since I'm using Xubuntu and this thing differs. Alt can probably affect your windows movement.

  • I'm able to bring up the HUD using the alt key. That's not the problem. The issue is that I can no longer use it to move messages. Sep 10, 2014 at 16:21
