Quick File with Number Keys
Quick File is a fast way to file messages in MsgFiler using just the number keys on your keyboard. To enable filing with number keys, perform the following:
In MsgFiler, click on the Action menu.
Enable File with number keys
You can also press Control-Option-Command-Q to enable filing with number keys.
Usage
When filing with number keys is activated, focus will move from the search field to the mailboxes list, and the number column in MsgFiler will highlight in red. The status bar will also reflect that Quick File has been enabled.
Press a 0-9 on your keyboard to file the selected messages in Mail directly into the numbered mailboxes.
This feature is useful if you have the Keep MsgFiler open after filing preference enabled, since focus will return to MsgFiler, allowing you to file subsequent messages using the number keys.
Deactivating Quick File
When you are done filing with the number keys, you can deactivate Quick File in one of several ways:
Go to the Action menu and disable File using number keys
Press the keyboard shortcut to turn it off.
Double or triple press the Escape key if you've defined it.
Click the stop button in the status bar.
The number column will return to the primary color from red.
Escape key activation
You can also configure the Escape key to toggle filing with number keys when double or triple pressed. Configure this General settings.
