Problem you are trying to solve

Keyboard Navigation currently doesn't support sending the edited mail (see: https://docs.k9mail.app/en/6.400/reading/managing/#keyboard-navigation).

I think that's just a oversight.

Suggested solution

Add the Keyboard shortcut for Sending Mail.

Research direction

Start with the linked Keyboard Navigation documentation and trace the existing shortcuts for composing or editing mail in the Android app. Add the missing send action shortcut so edited mail can be sent from the keyboard, then verify that the shortcut triggers sending as described.
