What is the function for "Run Filters on Message"?

I am looking for a simple one-click or keyboard shortcut way of running all filters on the selected message.

I've tried different filter extensions and had no luck.

So I have installed 'tbkeys' extension so I can create my own shortcuts. Now I just need to know the name of the function that is called from "Tools">"Run Filters on Message".

It will be something like "MsgApplyFilters" (that one doesn't work).

Thanks

Ed

add the z (or another letter) shortcut to tbkeys-lite as in the picture.

"z": "cmd:cmd_applyFiltersToSelection"

Thanks both for the quick responses. That did it, and now I know where to look for further commands.
