[Evolution] Alternative shortcuts/external editor?

[Ng Oon-Ee <ngoonee gmail com>]

Hi all,

Keyboard-only navigation in evolution is kind of a pain currently. I'm
aware this isn't a big issue, just minor useability. I recall an old
project to implement vim-like keybindings, but that seems to have fallen
by the wayside.

What would be the easiest way to change the default keybindings? I'm
only aware of a method involving changing some gconf key to allow typing
a shortcut key while hovering over a menu to assign that key to that
menu. Is there any other more specific method?

Also, and relatedly, with all bonobo dependencies removed does that mean
external editors and the like would be possible now? (possible meaning
infrastructure-wise, obviously someone would also have to code it)
