Is there any way to either use or create a keyboard key provision to mark messages or the whole group read in a thread like we have in the Seamonkey browser for newsgroup use? I realize that everybody is so in love with point and click. But as has always been the case, the world of touch type from keyboard placement is still far faster and more efficient than use of a mouse.
Clicking on a group with the mouse is one thing which isn't so bad a feeling. Even though you can go from group to group with the "arrow" keys and "shift + arrow" keys, or the backspace and shift keys in a browser. Whatever ..
But once there, why not be able to use the keyboard like in Seamonkey or Firefox - The "N" key for the next new message, The "R" key for marking the current message read. The use of the combination of <CTRL + SHIFT + "C"> keys, which you easily can hold down all with your left hand, to mark the entire thread as read.
Or am I missing something and just not a well informed enough puppy dog here?
