Hello TBBETA Members!

  Some time back I sat two keyboard shortcuts for Mark as Junk and
  Mark NOT as Junk, the only once I ever set. I had to set them
  differently for the Message window and the Main window, which I
  found rather ... wrong.

  Today I tried to print a message from the Message view by invoking
  the universal Windows shortcut (<Ctrl>+<p> if anybody forgot). It
  parked the message. So I opened the Shortcut Editor and found that
  parking a message was assigned to <Ctrl>+<j>, which I had used for
  Mark as Junk.

  I changed my shortcuts to something other (no warning colour shown),
  and tried to print again. And again the message was parked. I closed
  and restarted TB, same all over again.

  BTW, <Ctrl>+<p> is actually shown as the correct shortcut for
  printing in TB.

  The main problem actually lies within two different Shortcut Editors
  sometimes allowing, sometimes not to assign the same (or different)
  shortcuts to the exact same function.

  I was unable to assign <Ctrl>+<j> to Park Message in the Shortcut
  Editor invoked from the Message window after I did assign it to the
  same function, even the same place, in the Shortcut Editor invoked
  from the Main window.

  1. We do need one Shortcut Editor.
  2. By default every function that is the same but accessible from
     two or more places (menu items) should have the exact same
     keyboard shortcut.
  3. As long as warnings are shown and a conflict pane is there we
     need to be able to change a shortcut whenever we want.
  4. We need to delete shortcuts (why should I have KS for features I
     rarely or never use?).
  5. The Shortcut Editor needs to be accessible under Preferences!

If a creature, computational or biological, makes eye contact with a
person, tracks her gaze, and gestures with interest toward her, that
person will experience the creature as sentient, even capable of
understanding her inner state. (Sherry Turkle)
