Thunderbird - Create a quick keyboard action to move from the message list back to folder list

This is a suggestion from a Mastodon user: "Can a way be put in to get back to folders, maybe with escape?"

Thunderbird staff are planning to add a quick way to get from a mail folder to the message list for that folder. Right now people can use F6 (or Fn + F6). Work is planned in bug 1859568 to also use the Enter key as a quick shortcut.

In response to that planned work, a Thunderbird user suggested a keyboard shortcut to also get back to the folder from the message list.

Has something already like this existed in past versions of Thunderbird?

Is there support for this change?
