I don't know what you mean.  I currently have that box unchecked.

what I like about Ctrl-J is that messages are immediately refiled into
Junk.  I don't see a way to do that with Shift-Ctrl-G, and with labels
I'd need to apply a label (is there a shortcut for that?) and then apply
filters with Ctrl-Y to refile.

Does it seem unreasonable to have a "none" option for
junk-default-plugin?
