I don't mean the keyboard shortcuts editor itself, but a section in it
that used to be called, in 1.6x, something like "Attachments Pane
PopUp", and there you could modify shortcuts for actions such as "Open
This Attachment", "Save All Attachments" etc.

This is what my keyboard shortcuts editor looks like in Version 2.0's
main window:

If you can help me where, in this editor, to find the option, for
example, to switch the shortcuts for "Open" and "Save" attachments
(I'd like to have ENTER and CTRL+ENTER the other way round for the two
actions -- it was possible to switch them in 1.6x), I'd be grateful.

And you're right, the location of that editor under "View" menu is
illogical. It should perhaps be located in the recently introduced
centralized "Preferences" dialog, even though The Bat! is devious in
that the same keyboard shortcut performs a different action depending
on where you currently are (writing a message, reading a message,
performing a search, or simply in the main window).

That is another *wonderful* aspect of TB. Still, all of these
variables could be brought together in the centralized Preferences
window. I mean, since the Preferences window features two sets of
preferences for two various TB editors, why couldn't the same window
feature four or five sets of preferences for keyboard shortcuts for
each of TB's working environments? The four or five environments could
be hidden under a common heading such as "Keyboard Shortcuts
Remapping" and could be unpacked using the customary + sign/key so
that they wouldn't clutter the Preferences window.
