I like the idea of getting rid of the 'k' shortcut as this alone would 
fix the kde deletes all messages in a folder problem.

But I'm against getting rid of the 'd' shortcut as it's convenient and 
getting rid of the 'k' shortcut alone would be enough to solve the 
kde delete problem.

That will probably be the default qlistview keyboard acceleration. 
Which might (or could) be nice in the case of a user who has (or 
wants to) disable all single key shortcuts.

But then against disabling it for now probably makes sense.
