GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 239628
Configurable shortcuts for all important operations/navigation
Last modified: 2009-10-26 14:48:02 UTC
Description of Problem: If you have used an mail/contact/... manager/reader before you use shortcuts you have learned before. Actual Results: Most functions, navigation is not acceptable for working only with keyboard. Expected Results: A configurable list of shortcuts which can be used for the most important operations inside the whole application (see jEDIT or other open sourced apps) How often does this happen? Every time you work with evo. Additional Information: An important accessibiliy issue.
This is very unlikely to happen anytime soon, lacking the proper infrastructure in GTK/Bonobo.
I think you misunderstood the wish: In Mozilla Mail, Outlook, PM Mail and many many other eMail clients the SPACE bar is used for reading mails easily with ONE KEY. No [} or whatever needed. It jumps to the next paragraph, next mail and next folder. Ximian Evolution should do that what also other clients are doing: Being easy!
Upps! WRONG BUG, sorry. Forget the last entry! :-)

removing "probabledup" keyword and adding "usability" keyword
Comment #3 describes the so-called "magic spacebar" feature we've had for a while. Comment #1 describes configurable keyboard shortcuts, which finally work now in 2.29. So closing this as OBSOLETE.
