Yes I think that is a good idea. I will wait a little for other replies
and then send a new version. 

I think 'f' in search view should do a "forward-thread" functionality
which could also be linked from 'F' in show mode. I know we don't have
this functionality yet but unless people think it is not worth
supporting I think reserving the natural key is worth while.

Best wishes
