[MlMt] Unknown keyboard shortcut to delete an email?

[Devyn Osborne]

Hi All,

I have a very random question. I recently noticed that some emails were 
being deleted without me intending to do so. I finally traced it to a 
conflict between a Typinator expansion and a custom key binding in MM. I 
have confirmed the behavior but remain confused on what is actually 
being triggered in MM. I’d like to know so I can 100% avoid it in the 
future.

Here’s the original conflict:

- “z” — this is (or was) my custom key binding to toggle viewing 
unread emails on and off

- “ZZ” — this is my Typinator shortcut that expands to type the 
key sequence “-{tab}-{tab}-{return}”. To be clear, it types dashes 
and hits the tab and return keys. (This is a very specific set of keys 
for processing data in an Excel spreadsheet.)

When I type “z” intending to show unread, I believe I sometimes 
double-tapped it, triggering “-{tab}-{tab}-{return}”.

To avoid this, I’ve changed the unread key binding to a key combo far 
less likely to be unintentionally triggered. I’ve also set the 
Typinator shortcut to case match. Last, I should probably also adjust my 
keystroke timing on my new keyboard, which may be more sensitive than my 
last one.

To confirm, I’m still able to recreate the issue by hitting “ZZ” 
which deletes two emails and opens one. **This suggests that some 
combination of “-“ and “{tab}” deletes an email.** But for life 
of me do not see these as keyboard shortcuts anywhere.

Is this something hidden in MM? Maybe I have yet another keyboard 
conflict? I do set a lot of keyboard shortcuts!

Any help for this very specific problem is appreciated!

Devyn
