Hi there, thanks for [shipping Defer functionality](https://meta.discourse.org/t/defer-topic-button-mark-topic-unread/110951/22) into Discourse core! I use this frequently.
I’ve skimmed through [the pull request that added it](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/3b8819f0ab2442779c5b461e55504dbe55ab7f66) as well as the keyboard shortcuts menu, and it doesn’t appear there is any way to trigger this from the keyboard. Is that correct? Can such a shortcut be added?

Yeah we totally should add one, not sure what it should be though, any suggestions … `d` is clearly taken.

Maybe \* since that symbol typically indicates there is something to look at later in writing? Maybe a stretch, but it isn’t currently in use!

Gmail uses Shift + U, which I like 🙂

I support this, using what gmail uses gives people less stuff to learn, sadly we are going to have to wait 2 weeks here, we can not introduce new translations at the moment.
I am setting a reminder here to add the shortcut once our translation freeze is over.

I’ve created a PR for this:
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/7798](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/7798)
Shift+U was already reserved for navigating to the first unread post, so I’ve changed it to Shift+L and made Shift+U for deferring topics.
