Perhaps a better solution might be to re-map "." to gnus-pick-thread
if gnus-thread-hide-subtree is not nil (like nn's consolidated menu
option.)  If I need to pick individual articles, I can explode the
thread and mark individual articles. Ideally "u" should also be able
to perform corresponding functions gnus-uu-unmark-thread and
gnus-uu-unmark-as-processable according to whether or not
gnus-thread-hide-subtree is non-nil or not.  This may be more
intuitive if gnus-pick-thread does not show the subtree... but I'm not 
sure if the summary limiting functions will like this.

This is workable.  Speaking for myself, I'm perfectly happy with the
following functions being available to me with single keystrokes,
namely:

gnus-uu-mark-thread,
gnus-summary-unmark-as-processable / gnus-uu-unmark-thread
gnus-pick-start-reading

With the remapping of "." and "u", this can be achieved.

Ideally, I would also like a single keystroke for
gnus-uu-mark-by-regexp, or perhaps this can be a
gnus-uu-mark-by-sometype which prompts for mark by (r)egion, rege(x)
or (b)uffer.

What do people think?  I'll try to make the changes and post them to
the list for review.

Thanks,
Rajappa
