Okay, you might not like this suggestion, but have
looked into emacs? I don't do email, contact management, or syncing with emacs, but I
bet you someone does, and I guarantee you can do some crazy things like use emacs's
SES (simple emacs spreadsheet) to edit in contacts. And, you wouldn't have to touch
the mouse.
Maybe go on the emacs subreddit, IRC, or other emacs communities and ask and I bet you
could piece together some packages and some elisp configuration to get this kind of thing
done.
Anyways, I think that's about all I can say on the topic. For me, thunderbird works
well and I don't really keep up with contacts with my email client. Let me know how it
goes and if you find solutions.

Hello list!
Off topic, but maybe some of you guys got any advice?
I've mainly been using Thunderbird and Evolution as my mail readers, because they
have powerful search capabilities and good folder and account management. But I find both
seriously lacking in contact mangement.
Editing contacts require loads of clicks and mouse navigation to enter info to those
fields I use most often:
Name, email (might be multiple), phone (might be multiple), Street Address, Organization
/ Company, Birthday, Notes.
I'd like a spreadsheet approach instead: a simple list view of the preferred columns,
right click to get a "Mail to" context and double click in a field to edit. Or
something similar. And keyboard navigation, please.
I want sync across devices (that is Android phone, PC and occasional webmail) but I
don't want Google, so I'm using a CardDAV address book.
Thunderbird doesn't even let me use cardDAV as default address book but saves all
contacts to "Personal address book". Evolution opens contacts in a tabbed window
without CTRL-TAB navigation. Etc.
So. Does anyone here have pointers to mail readers with powerful search, good folder and
account management AND good contact management?
I'll happily accept personal mail to keep the OT clutter minimal. Thankful for any
input.
