DM: I'm pretty sure this only applies for GTK2 Claws Mail -- it isn't
currently a feature of the GTK3 versions. Besides Clawsker (which I
haven't used), another option is to manually edit the config file
related to keybindings as desired, which I have done a time or two.

DM: I wasn't real clear on whether the OP was looking for a
keyboard-only approach or an approach that only uses one keystroke to
complete an action. If they only want one keystroke (without needing to
do any other interaction), then I think they would have to create an
action first and then create the keybinding to that action. ---Dustin
