<title>Quick Reference</title>
<para>
You might want to copy this section and tape it to the wall
next to your computer: it's a very short summary of most of
the things you'll want to do with
<application>Ximian Evolution</application>.

<note id="shortcuts">
<title>Custom Keyboard Shortcuts</title>
<para>
As of GNOME 2.0, custom keyboard shortcuts lose out to keyboard
shortcuts as defined in application menus. For example, even if you have
chosen Emacs-style keybindings, the
<keycombo>
<keycap>Ctrl</keycap>
<keycap>A</keycap>
</keycombo> shortcut
select the entire message (as noted in in
<menuchoice><guimenu>Edit</guimenu><guimenuitem>Select
All</guimenuitem></menuchoice>), not go to the beginning of a line, as it would in Emacs.
</para>
<para>
Keybindings that are not overridden by menu definitions are not affected. For example,
<keycombo action="simul">
<keycap>Ctrl</keycap>
<keycap>K</keycap>
</keycombo>
still acts as "cut line."
</para>
<para>
To change keybinding settings, select
<menuchoice><guimenu>System</guimenu><guimenuitem>Personal
Settings</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
from your menu panel and double-click the
<guiicon>Shortcuts</guiicon> icon.

<title>Command Line Options</title>
<para>
Evolution is primarily a graphical (GUI) tool, but it has a few
command-line flags and options you may want to use.
</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>Force Evolution to Quit</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Earlier versions of Evolution shipped with a "killev"
script to halt all Evolution processes. Evolution 1.4 uses
the --force-shutdown flag instead. If Evolution has
stopped responding, try runing the command <command>evolution-1.4
--force-shutdown</command>.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>Handling Mailto Links with a Subject</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Evolution handles mailto links from browsers. If you use
Galeon, you can set the mail handler by selecting
<menuchoice><guimenu>System</guimenu><guimenuitem>Personal
Preferences</guimenuitem></menuchoice> and double-clicking the <guiicon>File
Associations</guiicon> icon.
</para>
<para>
For other browsers or applications, enter your custom
email handler as the command <userinput>evolution-1.4 "%s"</userinput> </para>
<para>
To create a preformed subject, enter the command like so:
<command>evolution-1.4 mailto:address@isp.com?subject="Subject of Message"</command>
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term> Disable splash screen</term>
<listitem>

If you dislike the splash screen, add the flag
<userinput>--no-splash.</userinput>
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>Start Online or Offline</term>
<listitem>
<para>
To start in online mode or in offline mode, add the <userinput>--offline</userinput>
or <userinput>--online</userinput> flag to the command line.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>Capture Debugging Output</term>
<listitem>
<para>
To gather debugging information for a bug report, run
Evolution with the flag
<userinput>--debug=filename.txt</userinput>. All debugging output
will go to the file name you choose.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>Additional Command Line Help</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Run <command>evolution --help</command> or
<command>evolution -?</command> to get a long listing of
additional options, most of which are available for all GNOME
applications. To get a short syntax summary, run the command
<command>evolution-1.4 --usage</command>.
