<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,
+ 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>K</keycap>
+ <keycap>W</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.
+ will act as "Cut region" rather than as "Close Window" in the
+ message composer.
