[evolution-patches] Anna, Help!

[Kidd Wang <kidd wang sun com>]

Hi, Anna

I have some problems when I'm fixing #45331 since I have to pick out
four accelerator keys that are both intuitive to users and free of 
confilcts.
Enclosed are the discussions between Rodrigo and me and we didn't get
any result yet.

I wonder whether you would like to give me some suggestions. Thanks.

Regards

ctrl+alt+shift sounds also bad to me :-) Why not use shift+ctrl, like we
do for many keybindings in the mailer?

cheers

not sure, I'd prefer the UI team to decide.
