Steps to reproduce:
Although keyboard shortcuts are ment to improve everyday work with Thunderbird, they can become a major issue depending on language, os, user preference etc.
One of the most obvious example ist the letter A as a keyboard shortcut to archive an eMail. This letter can often be pressed by accident thus making eMails aparantly disappear.
To overcome these inconveniences and to overcome the need for third party add-ons, please add a feature that will allow the user to Enable / Disable either some or all keyboard shortcuts, or to edit and re-assign them. If you can do this with a simple but straight-forward user interface, i am convinces many people on all continents will be very pleased.
If an UI is too much effort for the moment, why not at least add some BOOL variables in the config file to enable / disable?
Indeed i know that similar questions, bugs and features relate to keyboard shortcuts, but if you could make a proper keyboard shortcut editor, this would solve many problems on the fly.
Actual results:
accidential pressing of keyboard shortcuts (especially the letter A) can yeald to unwanted results e.g. eMails seeming to disappear because they are immediately moved into the archive folder of the corresponding eMail account
Expected results:
the behaviour is intended, but Thunderbird SHOULD have a proper editor for keyboard shortcuts, allowing the user to individualle enable or disable theme (either one by one, or all) or allowing the user to re-assign keys.

You can use the "tbkeys-light" AddOn to redefine or deactivate all or individual one-key shortcuts.
