Mail.app how to archive messages with delete key? [duplicate]
If you install Karabiner Elements you can add a custom config file in ~/.config/karabiner/assets/complex_modifications
called cmd_delete_archives_mail.json
for example,
{
"title": "Map CMD-Delete to Archive in Mail.app",
"rules": [
{
"description": "Map CMD-Delete to Archive in Mail.app",
"manipulators": [
{
"type": "basic",
"from": {
"key_code": "delete_or_backspace",
"modifiers": {
"all": [
"fn"
]
}
},
"to": [{
"key_code": "A",
"modifiers": {
"all": [
"left_control",
"left_command"
]
}
}],
"conditions": [
{
"type": "frontmost_application_if",
"bundle_identifiers": [
"^com\\.apple\\.Mail$"
]
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
For me, fn + backspace is delete which is why I wrote it with modifier keys. Maybe you won't do that (maybe your keyboard has a forward_delete
key)
