Package: Evolution
Priority: Cosmetic
Version: 1.2.0
Synopsis: Single quote (') inappropriate as a command
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Mailer

Description:
Description of Problem:
The single quote (') is used as a "dead-key" for people with US-style
keyboards who
need to input accented characters. The current version of Evolution uses
"'" as a
synonym for View->Preview Pane (a toggle). Previous versions used "Q",
but this
now means "switch to a folder starting with Q".

Alternative solutions:

1) Restore the previous behaviour, and add a "search" prefix command.
e.g. "/"
for the switch-folders function
2) Allow general remapping of hotkeys according to taste
3) Pick an alternative to "'" (such as a function key). Note that other
dead-keys may exist
in common keymaps so be careful!

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Set up a standard 104- or 105-key keyboard as "US International" (I
use
the KDE Control Panel widget). Make sure <"> <'> and <~> are working as
dead keys.
Typing the sequence < 'a > in a text widget should give <á>. 
2. Now try to toggle the Preview Pane using <'>
3. Try combinations such as <' > (single-quote space) or <''> (two
single quotes)

Actual Results:
Nothing happens

Expected Results:
Preview Pane should toggle

How often does this happen?
Always
