+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1752013 +++

New AB has lost shortcut Ctrl+M to write to selected contact(s) as To-recipients.
This action is currently inaccessible for users who depend on keyboard access, as context menu is also keyboard-inaccessible (another bug).

STR:

  1. Open ("new") Address Book
  2. Select contact A (or several contacts).
  3. Press keyboard shortcuts write to selected contact(s):
  • Ctrl+M

Actual results:

  • nothing

Expected results:

  • Restore Ctrl+M keyboard shortcut for writing to selected contacts (as To-recipients).
No longer blocks: tb-new-addrbook
Blocks: tb-ab-keyboard-ux

Mass-adding regression keyword to applicable AB bugs.

Keywords: regression

Address book has had a lot of improvements and QA work going on, so at least the Write action is now fully accessible for selected contact(s).
Restoring the shortcut is still desirable for maximum ux-efficiency. No need to break legacy muscle memory.

Severity: S3 → S4
Priority: P3 → P4
Summary: Writing to selected contact(s) in New Address Book is not accessible via keyboard: Restore shortcut `Ctrl+M` → Restore keyboard shortcut `Ctrl+M` for writing to selected contact(s)
