My comment will not answer your question, but it reflects several months
of using colored flags and tags. My impression is that tags are more
useful : they can be used to sort the messages, they can be searched for
throughout all mailboxes, they are recognized by most servers (so
transferable from one computer to the other (except with Exchange),
unlike colored flags), they allow a relatively easy visualization of who
sent what, …
This being said, a more convenient combination of keys to change the
flag color would still be useful.

To change the flag colors you have to use the fussy Shift-F, release,
press number process. Is there any way to change them so that a
quicker and easier keyboard shortcut could be used, such as a function
key, or at least a non-shifted lowercase f?

It's cool, that you can easily switch on a flag by hitting `Shift-F`

Flags are implemented using IMAP keyword “bits”. A clever
solution by Apple, but MailMate currently doesn't have an easy way to
do colored flag searches. You can only do it by searching for the
corresponding set of bits. Here are the F keybindings:
"F" = {
"0" = ( "removeTag:", "\\Flagged", "removeTag:",
"$MailFlagBit0", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:",
"$MailFlagBit2" );
"1" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "removeTag:",
"$MailFlagBit0", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:",
"$MailFlagBit2" );
"2" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "setTag:",
"$MailFlagBit0", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:",
"$MailFlagBit2" );
"3" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "removeTag:",
"$MailFlagBit0", "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:",
"$MailFlagBit2" );
"4" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "setTag:",
"$MailFlagBit0", "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:",
"$MailFlagBit2" );
"5" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "removeTag:",
"$MailFlagBit0", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "setTag:",
"$MailFlagBit2" );
"6" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "setTag:",
"$MailFlagBit0", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "setTag:",
"$MailFlagBit2" );
"7" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "removeTag:",
"$MailFlagBit0", "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "setTag:",
"$MailFlagBit2" );
};
Implicitly, they also tell you what to search for, e.g., F2, means
that `$MailFlagBit0` is enabled and `$MailFlagBit1`/`$MailFlagBit2`
are disabled.
I hope that helps.
