Some MUAs have built-in support for archiving with one key (e.g.
Thunderbird/Icedove, 'a'), however *all* mail clients have built-in
support for deleting with one key. I adjusted my mail operation around
that principle, and have filter rules that make archive copies of
incoming mail, so the mail that hits my inbox is a copy that can be
safely deleted.

You need good search/indexing support in your MUA(s) for this to work.
