Detaching attachment - shortcut

Hi,

because the attachment extractor addon does not work anymore in version 78 and one must detach attachment manually per each message, is there some shortcut for Detach (Detach all) attachments from the message.

Working in Thunderbird has become very annoying and complicated since version 78 (when almost all useful addons are not more supported), so at least when doing annoying and complicated manual detaching of attachments in each message, it will be great to have a shortcut for this.

Thank you.

The pre-release version of FiltaQuilla has an option to add Detach as a filter action, but I wasn't able to get it to work. The add-on is actively developed, so I would expect improvements in the near future.
