Thunderbird:Keybindings

	THIS PAGE IS A WORKING DRAFT
	The page may be difficult to navigate, and some information on its subject might be incomplete and/or evolving rapidly. If you have any questions or ideas, please add them as a new topic on the discussion page.

This needs to be scoped for the different Thunderbird windows. Compose, Address Book, and the 3-Pane window each have a different set of keybindings.
