Allow changing keyboard shortcut for "Delete Message" (i.e. to Trash, not "Delete Permanently") in Vivaldi Mail
-
Currently, the keyboard shortcut in Vivaldi Mail for deleting messages to trash is hard-coded to the Del button.
This keyboard shortcut doesn't show up in the Keyboard Shortcut settings, and is not modifiable (contrary to Vivaldi design philosophy).
On my laptop, the Del button is hard to reach (and can be easily missed). When I'm typing, I'd rather delete messages with Ctrl + D, for example; or assign a single-letter shortcut to delete to Trash (like K for marking as read).
One can currently assign a custom shortcut to "Delete Permanently" action, which bypasses Trash and sends IMAP delete command.
Deleting to Trash should be treated the same way.

@romwell Shift+X works for me to Permanently Delete emails or feeds, but I guess it would be better to have an option for delete to trash. Right-click, Delete works, but a keyboard shortcut is preferable.

@Pesala There's no Undo (Ctrl + Z) for "Permanently Delete", which would've made it bearable.
Currently, I'm browsing emails with the mouse in my right hand, and my left hand goes over it to press the "Del" button on my trusty IBM Model M keyboard (which is lovely, but huge).
I'm considering making or purchasing a one-button controller or re-mapping keyboard keys to address this and have a "Del" in my left hand, but this is silly when I could have simply customized the shortcut.

@romwell Customize the mouse? Most mouse setups allow you to customize the "extra" buttons (including middle, Back and Forward as well as any beyond that). But that would require being willing to lose the existing function of that button, which may be unacceptable.
