It depends on the view.  If you're in message view then 'r' works as
reply.  If you're in the mailbox view (i.e. inbox, label, search) 'r'
works as mark as read.

I am not sure if i understand your reference to the key, but i
interpret your your question as asking for a way to delete a single
message in a conversation.
Here is how:
Select the message you want to delete. Use the dropdown box to the
right of the message (next to the reply tab) and select delete
message. It is then moved to the trash.

Implementing a shortcut key for deleting a single message would be
quite difficult. There is no easy way I know of to fetch what message
would be deleted.

when you use the "p" and "n" to move between emails of one conversation you can still use the "reply" , " forward" shortcut keys.
it will be helpful to be able to delete one the emails in conversation then you can cut down some clutter in the conversation

thank you
