Description

I love Caprine! This is a great application.

Would it be possible to add a keyboard shortcut to the "Toggle Unread Threads" menu item, as well as a keyboard shortcut to mark a given conversation as read/unread? My usual workflow involves marking a conversation that I need to reply with as unread (or with a star in e.g. Gmail) so it would be really convenient to be able to do the same thing with Messenger threads!

Gmail does SHIFT+I for mark as read and SHIFT+U for mark as unread, but I'm sure I could relearn another mapping. It also looks like CTRL+SHIFT+T is already "Always on Top" but something else could work there too.

Thank you!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing keyboard shortcut setup in the Electron menu and accelerator definitions. Identify where 'Toggle Unread Threads' and 'Mark as Read/Unread' actions are defined. Add new shortcuts (e.g., Ctrl+Shift+I for mark as read, Ctrl+Shift+U for mark as unread) by following the pattern used for existing shortcuts. Test the changes locally.
