  <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>.
   </para>


<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.
</para>
</note>
