Archive shortcut key

Is there a way to create a shortcut for “Archive,” sending a Gmail message to All Mail?

I’ve been in the program for a hot five minutes, and so far I love it.

No, I am sorry it is not possible at the moment.

If you’re perusing your Gmail Inbox (or you have the separate message window open), you can type the following sequence:

Alt-A (to open the Actions menu)
A (to choose the Archive menu item)

Or alternatively, you can use a workaround I posted that describes how to make the Ctl-D keyboard shortcut and the Delete button archive your email in All Mail instead of truly deleting it.
