I have never had this problem with pan (the newsreader). Yes, the type-with-the-menu-open system has a big flaw, but apparently it doesn't take that much coding to get persistennce on the changed keyboard map. And they even reintroduced single-key shortcuts after dropping them for a short while - too many complaints...
Granted, the e-mail clients from a certain Redmond monopolist do not allow one to remap keybindings, but I see that as more of a detriment than a feature. And even M$ lets you remap keybindings in their other Office apps (word, excel, etc...).Yea, and they've spent a lot more money on UI testing than any of the clients listed above... gee, could that maybe be *why* it doesn't have configurable keybindings?
Hmmm - perhaps OE and Outlook is targetted at users who just go with the default, while most Linux users made a *choice* using Linux? Perhaps, most Linux users have seen other systems, while most Windows users have not? (adding this to my growing 'annoying things about evo' list that keeps me looking for something better...) cheers -- vbi -- secure email with gpg http://fortytwo.ch/gpg
