<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>
If you have set custom keyboard shortcuts for your desktop, (you can
do this the control center: select
<menuchoice><guimenu>System</guimenu><guimenuitem>Settings</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
from your menu panel), they may interfere with Evolution keyboard
shortcuts.
</para>
<para>
For example, if you have chosen Emacs-style key bindings for your
desktop-wide text editor, the shortcut
<keycombo action="simul">
<keycap>Ctrl</keycap>
<keycap>W</keycap>
</keycombo>
will act as "Cut region" rather than as "Close Window" in the
message composer.

that means you'll create a new message. If you're
