Re: [Evolution] feature request - mark all read hotkey

[Monte Ohrt <monte ispi net>]

Interesting. So if I want to add a ctrl-shift-c hot key to the "mark all
as read" label, how would I do that? I found a placeholder for the edit
menu. I tried to replace that with an accel setting (basically copying
the syntax from another menu item) and it broke the Edit pulldown menu
completely. How do I know the appropriate name for this menu item if it
isn't in there already? Any docs on how to edit this file correctly?

TIA
Monte
