Add keyboard shortcuts for Run Filters buttons

[RealRaven2000]

This can be used for archiving and other tasks that are not supposed to run automatically. I propose to implement this as a Pro feature (requiring a quickFilters Pro license) as it is useful and we need to raise funds for the Thunderbird 78 conversion.

Here is a first test version (not localized yet, and not yet disabled without the license validation). Configure via the quickFilters Settings / qF Pro tab in the "Premium features" settings:

quickFilters-wx-4.4pre16.zip

test version above - please extract the xpi to a file first then drag the file into Add-ons Manager. github does not support attaching Add-ons directly.

I checked both keyboard shortcuts (folder and selected email); created a new subfolder; created a filter using the filter assistant (from/to Axel moves to inbox > quickFilter) Shft+R and Shft+F produced popup windows (screenshots) but did not move any email, Buttons for both functions did the same. (did not test the buttons before I installed this test, sorry) Win10 home v1909 b18363.720 - Thunderbird 68.7.0 32bit

Just trying odd things, I dragged an email to you manually into the quickFilter subfolder, then dragged it back into inbox. It moved back to the subfolder by itself... Ctrl+Z did nothing. Right-click "move back to inbox" did nothing.

You have told the assistant to do that automatically - by default is does the move when new mail arrives in the inbox. Since you do not want this I suggest the following:

1) edit the filter like this: Apply filter when: [x] Manually Run: enabled [ ] Getting new Mail: disabled

if you like you can set these as defaults for new filters in quickFilters settings / New Filter Properties (just right-click the assistant button to get there quickly):

I had set it to run manually and When archiving.
