Option to be able to click anywhere on email when shift / ctrl clicking
I know you can select email by pressing the thumbnail and using ctrl-click or shift-click from there to select, but I'd like to have the option to do this without having to press the thumbnail every time.
Often I end up accidentally clicking away or forgetting and clicking the email itself when selecting and its quite annoying. Or it ending up taking longer to select emails because I have to carefully click each one.
Worst case please add it as an toggleable setting.

Pressing the Delete key does not move the selected or currently open message to Trash.
Ctrl+click does not allow users to select multiple individual messages in the standard way.
Shift+click does not select a range of messages unless users click precisely on the small checkboxes.
The desktop application behaves exactly like the web interface instead of supporting normal desktop controls.Using “T” instead of the Delete key and forcing users to target individual checkboxes are not reasonable substitutes. Delete, Ctrl+click, and Shift+click are standard conventions across operating systems, file managers, email clients, and countless other applications. Users should not have to unlearn basic controls or perform additional clicks simply because they use Proton Mail.
