[VM] 8.2.0b keybinding request

Uday,

I'd like to ask that the '<' and '>' keys be added back into the
default keybindings. With long emails, it makes popping up and down
from the top and bottom much easier. Esp when I get emails from my
Netapps saying that something bad happened and it's 30+ pages down to
find what I want, which is always at the end.

I realize I can just add back in all the old default key-bindings, but
I think most of the ones you removed are ok, it's just these two which
hit me the most.

I'd probably ask for 'e' back as well to edit a message, but that's
lower down.

Removing '@' for archiving is problably higher in my list of bindings
to remove actually. It's too close to '#' which I have bound to just
expunge all my deleted emails.

I realize that no choice of key bindings will be ideal for everybody. The
best thing to do would be to customize your own key bindings to your
preference. For instance, putting

(define-key vm-mode-map ">" 'vm-end-of-message)

in the .vm.preferences file will let you use your favourite key binding.

`@' is not a VM standarad key binding. `vm-auto-archive-messages' is
normally bound to `A'. To unbind it, use:

(define-key vm-mode-map "A" nil)

Cheers,
