1831145 - Add a "toggle DesignMode" button into message pane (or at least shortcut)

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Message Reader UI, enhancement)

Description

[Thomas Stein]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/112.0

Steps to reproduce:

Sometimes I want to print a certain messages (into pdf or paper).
So I double click on the line in the message list pane and the corresponding message window opens.

Unfortunately sometimes the message contains lot of unimportant stuff and replys text.
I want to delete it easily before printing. Therefore users can switch to DesignMode by entering:

content.document.designMode = 'on';

into console.
Unfortunately this is the only way.

Firefox (on contrast) offers to add a cmdlet shortcut for that into bookmark toolbar. This is not possible in Thunderbird.

Having each time to open the Developer pane and switch to console and enter a command is tedious and user unfriendly.

I would like to request to add a "toggle DesignMode" button into the toolbar of the message pane window. That would ease the working process very much.

Or - alternatively (second best) - to introduce a shortcut for "toggle DesignMode".

Thank you
Thomas
