I'm running into a hard time converting my head from traditional Thunderbird hotkeys to Muttator hotkeys. Additionally, I think some hotkeys are either broken or non-existant.

For example, in Thunderbird,

    m: Mark message as read/unread     (doesn't work; trumped by Mutt)
    r: Mark thread as read    (doesn't work; trumped by Mutt)
    *: Expand all threads     (works... but will in the future?)
    \: Collapse all threads   (works... but will in the future?)
    Cntrl+Shift+C: Mark all read in the folder   (works)

I don't use "m" much, but I use "r" all the time. It appears like the only way I can get "r" functionality back is by mapping from :emenu, and that's fine, but I have to imagine there are lots of people who use thread view to view mailing lists (like this one).

It would be nice to have something like...

    grm:     Mark (toggle?) message read
    grt:     Mark (toggle?) thread read

and similar gum and gut. That is, "message" and "thread" could be like movements. ( I suppose a less-Vimmy alternative would be "tr" for "thread read". ) Also consider something like...

    grat:     Mark all messages read from this point forward in thread?
    graT:     Mark all messages read from this point backward in thread?

My main point is that I think threads should be handled better in future versions of Muttator, and I think a good START to that would be to thinking about "movements" in terms of "message" and "thread."
