Steps to reproduce:
Typed "N" to navigate to next unread email, there were none left in the current folder so TBird dialog challenge to "advance to next unread in folder XXXX"
Tried "Y" as keyboard shortcut on this dialog. Nothing happens.
Actual results:
On Windows the "N" and "Y" keyboard shortcuts work on this dialog.
On macOS they do not.
Worse, command-N does nothing but CTRL-N does navigate to the next folder.
However CTRL-N appears to be acted on twice as even though we navigate to another folder now and the first unread email is selected, TBird UI then asks with another challenge dialog whether to move to the next folder with unread emails.
Expected results:
"N" and "Y" keyboard shortcuts should answer the "go to next folder" challenge dialog.
When navigating to the next folder with unread emails, the navigation should then stop, do not ask over again.

Y is not a valid keyboard shortcut in baseline Thunderbird, not in the folder pane nor the message list. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-thunderbird#w_moving-around-thunderbird
Maybe it is coming from an addon or customization.
So in Windows and macOS, when I use the TBird shortcut "n" to navigate to the next unread email, and there are none in the current folder, I get the dialog that asks whether to go to the next folder with unread emails.
On both platforms the dialog has a "yes" "no" answer.
In Windows those choices are choosable with "y" or "n".
Are you saying the OS is doing that, not TBird?

Also, under macOS, those choices are weirdly selectable with CTRL-y and CTRL-n.
Though it all goes wrong from there as even using CTRL-y, we jump to the next folder with unread email, select the first unread email and then the next one - thus reading two emails with one key typed.
And again, CTRL is not really the right metakey in macOS, is it?
