Hey Jean-Christophe,

Break down and buy Keyboard Maestro — then you can assign keyboard shortcuts
the way you want without having to futz with the system.

Full-screen has ALWAYS been buggy...
Rule-of-the-thumb — if you want to automate things DON'T use full-screen.

I'm not certain, but I think you can hide/show the menu with System Events. If
not you can usually open it using the Help menu Cmd-Shift-?
Buy MailHub or Mail Act-On or both, and your filing issues will be over. Mail
Act-On will select Smart-maiboxes — MailHub will NOT select smart-mailboxes.

tell application "Mail"
tell (some message viewer whose index is 1)
set selected mailboxes to mailbox "ACTION" of application "Mail"
end tell
end tell

NOTE — it's ludicrous, but you CANNOT select a smart-mailbox via this method...
