885763 - typing a,d,n,m,r can be very bad, but no way to swich off (one or all) hot keys

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 615957

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[fabrice.neyret]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/27.0.1453.110 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

typing words or sentences containing a,d,n,m,r while not noticing the focus is in the main window and not in a compose window or search box or other appli.


Actual results:

destroy, archive, mark as read a bunch of mails up to the moment I figure out the focus is in the wrong window (sometime I won't guess something very wrong occured).
It might be very uneasy to "undo" the "marked as read" when treating hundreds emails a day. Archived or deleted is obviously even worse if I don't notice.


Expected results:

I just don't want hotkeys for delete or archive.
Such dangerous hotkey not protected by a modifier (shilt, ctrl, alt) is a conception mistake. Which is even worse when you can't desactivate hotkeys (one or all).
