Ctrl+Shift+M ?

Didn't work for me... It just minimized TB.

The short-cut "Ctrl+Shift+M" is not correct for the "Mark Newsgroup
Read" function. However, what I am actually trying to do is to utilize
a button-bar button to trigger the event. I'm not even sure that macros
are supported in TB, but it seems that I might be able to use other
tools to assign a button to the code. I'm still looking.

Thanks.

on Mac w/OS X, Shift+Command+C works as "Mark All Read". Kind of a "3
finger salute" I work with left hand, while mousing with right. Not
clear to me if or how a "button/icon" could be created.

I'll bet he's mousebound. No offense to the OP; I'll just bet that's
the case.

You guessed it! I only have partial use of my left hand, or I would use
the short-cut "ctrl+shift+c".

I'm experimenting with the "Custom Buttons" extension, to see if I can
assign the short-cut via code. I need to figure out precisely what that
extension needs. It looks promising.

Well, the question is answered...and it was a slam-dunk!

The Custom Buttons2 and Keyconfig extensions did the trick.

Using Keyconfig, I got the exact code required to apply to a custom
button. Here it is: "goDoCommand('cmd_markAllRead');". I added an
image file for the button and and it's good to go. VERY HANDY TOOLS!

Sir Svelte Fish:

You're on linux, does not Ctrl+Shift+M mark all read in TB? It does in
SM . Perhaps Alt+etc in windows?

In some of my installed news clients, it's a snap to natively remap
commands to key combos. Perhaps that can be done with TB, as well...

Bitchin'. Glad you were successful with this.

There is a 'mark all read' button available from an extension by that
same name. Works only after opening that newsgroup, and displaying the
headers. After you install the extension, 'customize', and drag the
'mark all read' button to the toolbar.

Right click on the toolbar and choose "Customize" and drag mark onto the
toolbar then click ok. Highlight the NG go to Mark and pull down the
menu and choose "All Read". Note it's the same as Ctrl+Shift+C.

Yes, it does. Now, how does he do Ctrl-Shift-m with his mouse?

A solution has been discovered!

In Windows TB, the extensions "Custom Buttons2" and "Keyconfig" allowed
me to create a button that calls the Windows keyboard shortcut for Mark
All (Ctrl+Shift+C). Keyconfig told me what the code for the shortcut
was. The new button works exactly as I had hoped. Thanks!

Dunno ;-) Maybe there's a version of imwheel for windows?

Right-Click on any message in that newsgroup and a context menu will open.
Click on "Mark" then click on "All-Read". If there's a quicker way, please let
me know.

What I find useful is, in About:Config, to add the preference
mailnews.mark_message_read.nntp and set it to True. This way, the
currently selected newsgroup is automatically marked as read whenever
you move the cursor away from that newsgroup.
