ThunderBird Right-Click Menu

[Stars]

A thought... When you right-click on a mail message, in the menu that pops up is there anyway that you would consider moving "delete message" up the list? Maybe add it to the bottom of the "Open message in.." section?

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

Are you proposing this as an accessibility option for those that have difficulty using the delete key on their keyboard?

[Stars]

Not as such. But the delete option is so far down the menu that it is hard on the hands and fingers (I have bad hands, arms, joints and all) that I'm just having to curl and move my hands all the time. I use delete alot, I also do multiples (witch delete (all) is closer to the top of a shorter menu). Don't feel to bad, Windows has the same issue with it's rename and delete commands as well. I use a lot of keyboard but still need alot of mouse as well.

There are alot of dynamic "menus", like tabs, add-on bar, couple other places. Is it possible at all to make a "normal" menu dynamic? Be able to move around the options to fit our needs? As far as I can remember I have never seen it done.

Part of the problem is the excessive line spacing on Thunderbird's menus. Why does the rt click menu have to take almost the whole height of the screen? This should be set to something reasonable or made adjustable, as well as having some control over menu contents.

@TimSkeneHave you tried the compact entry under density on the view menu.

[TimSkene]

I have always used compact, but that doesn't fix the extremely relaxed line spacing in the rt click and drop down menus. Why are the menus so much longer than anywhere else in Windows? It would be easier to use if the lines were normally spaced.
