I have a wireless mouse. What I want to do is eliminate the need to use

the main toolbar instead of in a submenu. Thanks



Since you already have the wireless mouse, wouldn't it be easier to
simply use it to click on the Mark button dropdown and select the 'As
Read' or 'Flag' option you want?  You'd only have to move one hand that
way, as long as you can see the screen.  No keyboard action needed.


Well the obvious next question is: have you considered a wireless *keyboard*

Phil

The OP stated previously he wants to remove the NEED of a keyboard to do 
this one thing.  Seems a bit pointless, though, if a mouse can do it in 
2 clicks.

When I use Seamonkey to read newsgroups, I lean back in my chair and
put my feet on the desk. So I can't use the keyboard at all. The
Mark button has an arrow next to it. When you click on the arrow,
you can scroll down to Thread as read. There is plenty of empty
space next to the mark button. If I could eliminate the arrow and
have separate buttons for thread as read, as read by date, and all
read, it would be much easier. As it is now, I have to take the dog
out of my lap, sit up, pull out the keyboard, and then hit the
letter t. There is enough space to eliminate the arrow next to Next
as well Message, Unread message, and Flagged message could all have
a button on the main bar. Right clicking on the toolbar and
selecting customize gives you very little that you can change. If
there is an easy way to do this I would thank you. My little dog
would thank you too.


If you know the script code executed for the Next Unread Thread menu
item you could create a custom button with it:

https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/custom-buttons/

Thanks Stanimir,  what I want to do is create a new button.  The new 
button would be right next to the Mark button.  When you push that 
button, it would have the same effect as pushing the letter T on the 
keyboard.  It would have the same effect as pushing the down arrow next 
to the mark button, scrolling down and then clicking Thread as read. 
The point is that one mouse click is less clicks than more than one. 
When you do something over and over finding the quickest easiest way to 
do it makes the most sense. Almost half of the toolbar is EMPTY.  There 
is no need to hide buttons in a drop down menu.  No one seems to 
understand why I want all the buttons where they can be clicked easily. 
 AArrrg!

If you've generally found out how to create custom buttons using the 
extension I've referred to, just create a button using the following 
code:


goDoCommand('cmd_nextUnreadThread');

Have you considered using a wireless/bluetooth mouse? If you have a
