You can delete keyboard shortcuts using the present editors, just
press the Delete key when an action is highlighted in the editor. It's
just that, there are so many simultaneous keyboard shortcuts editors
absurdly hidden within TB!'s several View menus that you sometimes
have to delete a shortcut in four various places in three various
editors before the shortcut really becomes available for a different
action that you prefer.  ;-)))

All of this "mayhem" is, nevertheless, very much preferable to TB! 1.x
versions that offered no option to modify default keyboard shortcuts.

Yes. There are superb keyboard shortcut editors in, for instance,
EditPlus and even Microsoft Word. There is a *bad* keyboard shortcut
editor in, for example, Opera, in that it (just like TB!) prevents you
(unless you manually edit the *.ini file) from setting several
keyboard shortcuts for the same action -- and that is a must! For
instance, I've been moving messages around in TB! via the F8 key for
ages -- however, why am I not allowed to keep the default shortcut
CTRL+V for that action at the same time?

The Opera keyboard shortcut editor, though bad, has one excellent
feature: the ability to switch on-the-fly between various sets of
customized keyboard shortcuts, including the default set.

So, give us MS Word's keyboard shortcut editor in TB! with Opera
editor's ability to switch on-the-fly between various sets of
shortcuts, and everything will be fine. (And enable the ESC key,
along with all other special keys, for keyboard shortcuts in TB!,
as right now the ESC key closes the editor instead of being
assigned to an action.)
