Thunderbird Hotkeys?

Just thinking out loud here after some casual Googling left me unsatisfied . . .

I like Thunderbird, mostly, but while it has an extensions interface, I am finding it lacking for basic customization. For example, I like to toss e-mails in an “archive” folder . . . but as far as I can tell I have to drag messages to the folder every time I want to archive them! I dug around and found the “file” button . . . but that thing is just awful! I’d like to . . . press “a” or something, or click an icon, and get the mail archived that way. (Like, to delete a message I press “delete” . . . eh?)

Has anyone found a useful configuration option / extension / doohickey to realize this stuff? Or should I re-acquaint myself with mutt for e-mail triage?

I use an extention called Nostalgy. To quote the web page:

Nostalgy adds keyboard shortcuts to change the current folder, to move/copy selected messages into another folder; the selection of the target folder is made through an auto-completion box where you can type part of the folder name. There are also commands to improve the navigation between Thunderbird’s three panes.

You can find it at this site
