Description

### Your use case

It seems like it will still be some time until the unread notifications bugs are all fixed. In the meantime, it would be very useful to have a keystroke option to "mark all as read" in current room to be able to more quickly dismiss the unread status for rooms sequentially. It's somewhat laborious to have to right click on each room separately and pick this option.
