It also requires a shift. Personally, I find swapping the binding of `e' and `E' very useful. I think these two keys are backward, given likelihood of usage of each. The only MUA I've ever seen which does "delete and show next message" is Berkeley Mail's "dp" command. And even that requires *3* keystrokes, because (being ttyline-oriented) a RET is also needed. >> The most common command when reading mail is "delete this >> message and go to the next one". This *has* to be a >> single-key command, not requiring any key modifiers. I don't understand your definition of "most common." For example, what's the standard VM binding for this desired function?

I understand what Per wants to accomplish, but consider it so trivial as to be not worth establishing a new default keybinding for it. Per is of course free to define a function of his own to do so, and to bind it to some preferred key. Personally, I don't *want* automatic selection of messages, *ever*. This is why I set... gnus-auto-select-first nil gnus-auto-select-next 'quietly gnus-auto-select-same t --karl
