OK--here's what I had in mind:
- a new item on the Settings menu, labeled "`Delete' key
binding", with programmed accelerator `Delete';
- this item pops up a dialog:
Why not make it a radio submenu? Just an idea...
Balsa has no default action when you press the `Delete' key.
You can choose to have it:
[ ] move selected messages to trash;
[x] toggle the deleted flag for selected messages;
[ ] do nothing.
Why would one like to have Delete key unbound? Seems unlikely to me -
probably because I have this KISS principle written on a yellow note
that got stuck to my screen.
Besides, I do not quite get why one would want to have a physically
separate folder for trash. In other words: why Mailbox/Hide/(Un)deleted
does not work as a quick switch between mailbox and associated trash.
Is it that such messages are deleted on close, or there is some other
reason? Because if this is the problem, I can imagine expunging only
when "empty Trash on exit" option is set. Opinions?
