253551 - ChangeRequest: Mozilla Mail - Shortcut for deleting mail to be Ctrl+D

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

Description

[O.R.Senthil Kumaran]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.2; Linux) (KHTML, like Gecko)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510

In the current versions of Mozilla Mail for deleting a mail, a User has to 
press the Del key in the keyboard. 
An ergonomically and better used Shortcut Key in sync with other MUAs for 
Deleting a Mail would be Ctrl+D. 
 
Mozilla Mail has currently no action associated with Ctrl+D. 
For Deleting a Mail a user needs to be press Del key only. 
But other mail user agents like Mutt,Evolution,Outlook have definted Ctrl+D 
for deleting the open message. 
This is found to be comfortable in other MUAs and a user switching from these 
MUAs to Mozilla mail might miss this highly helpful Shortcut key. 
 
While at newgroups,if a user is willing to scan/read and delete the mails 
quickly, then having a shortcut like *Ctrl+D* comes  more handy then Del key.	 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a Mail message. To Delete - Press Del Key. 
2.In a Different MUA,like mutt,evolution,Outlook, press Ctrl+D. Check the 
difference in your hand-key co-ordination.	 
3. 
 
Actual Results:  
Ctrl+D is not bound to any action in Mozilla mail.	 

Expected Results:

Hi, 
     I checked with the bugs raised earlier. 
The Resolution Given is. 
1) Use Del Key as Designed. 
2) Use Alt + E and D ( Alt + E will open the Edit Menu and press D for Delete) 
 
The reason for raising this enhancement bug is, Ctrl+D seems to give better 
control than Del or Alt+E+D. 
 
I wish mozilla team considers this point. 
 
Regards, 
Senthil

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
