Is it possible to make Deselect All a key command in Lotus Notes?
I’m trying to track my incoming emails so I hit Cntrl A to select and and count them quickly but I have to go to Edit and Deselect in case I accidently delete all of the messages.

If you mean a keyboard shortcut, unfortunately, between Windows and Notes functions, all the single key combos are pretty much taken. You can however access any menu command through the keyboard accelerator keys for that option. Hold down the ALT key and you’ll see underlines appear under letters in the main menu options; that is the key for that menu. Select it and all the option under that choice will be showing underlines under the appropriate key for that option. So Edit | Deselect All is accessed via ATL-E, D.
Additionally, if you really do want to create a button, you could create and add a custom smarticon (tool) to your Universal Toolbar. The command you want to put in the code box is @Command( [EditDeselectAll] ). That will give you one-click access to the function.

If you wanted to set it to a certain key combo then you might try downloading a key macro program. Here is a free one I found through google. http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/misc/Remap.htm I’ve not used it but it looks like you could set up something like CTRL-D to do the ALT-E, ALT-D combo action. Just don’t use a key combo that you need for something else in Windows. This may be too much work to replace one keystroke, up to you.
