Re: [Evolution] Customizing key bindings



You gotto wait till Evolution-2.12. If you have built from source, you
can try this beta patch which adds keyboard shortcuts to Evolution.

It copies those xml files to .evolution/ui/* and stores all the new
keybindings there. On an upgrade, it merges the new xml files with what
you have changed. But it doesnt check for conflicting keys there. But in
the shortcut editor, it does search for conflicts. And the worst thing
is that it requires an restart for Evolution to start applying the
changes.

PS: Beta Quality Patch. It needs more work atleast in terms of
unreffing/freeing.

over again for each new Evo update. It would be nice to have a personal
XML settings file which could override at least some of this stuff.

Is there a way to customize the keybindings in Evo?

In particular, it drives me absolutely around the bend that C-w is bound
to "Close", and no warning is given when you type it.

Usually I agree that "are you sure?" questions are annoying, but I have
a number of accounts that all require passwords so starting Evo is a
chore (I can't figure any way to get Evo to remember my passwords across
a restart).

Sometimes when I want to delete a message I accidentally use C-w instead
of C-d (somewhere in my brain I think "close this message" and C-w comes
out of my fingers), and BOOM! there goes my entire Evo session down the
drain and there's nothing I can do about it.

So frustrating!

Any help?
