navigating with Tab key and Shift-Tab between folder and message list
Why can't I no longer use Tab and Shift-Tab for navigating between folders and message list, instead getting this extraneous/unnecessary clutter of other controls in between? (I'm blind, I use the NVDA screenreader and rely on keyboard navigation instead of the mouse, and F6 and Shift-F6 is also not nearly as efficient either!) This is a backward step with this update, and I can't find any option (for all the supposed customisation) to get rid of these other controls - Spaces menu, Search box or get it out of the way at least!

I understand your frustration with the recent changes in navigating Thunderbird using the Tab and Shift-Tab keys. It's unfortunate that the clutter of extra controls has made keyboard navigation less efficient for you, especially as a blind user relying on keyboard navigation. While this update might have introduced some challenges, there's a way to address this issue. You can consider using the Thunderbird Keyboard Navigation add-on, which can help streamline your keyboard navigation experience by focusing on the areas you need most. It's available for download from the Thunderbird add-ons website.

Better Accessibility Speaking of accessibility, Supernova substantially improves Thunderbird’s keyboard navigation and screen reader accessibility across the entire application. We’ve also greatly expanded the ability to navigate Mail content and buttons using the TAB and arrow keys.
