Description Robert Zilbauer 2003-04-30 17:18:22 UTC
Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
are doing.
Description of Problem:

In "Evolution Settings" under "Composer Preferences" the Shortcuts Type
setting doesn't seem to have any effect. For one, changing the Shortcuts
Type to any of the options never activates the "Apply" and "OK" buttons
necessary to submit the change. 
Also, even though the Shortcuts Type is set to Emacs in both Evolution as
well as through the Gnome Control Center, the text editor commands don't
behave like Emacs. For example, CTRL-A always selects all text instead of
moving to the beginning of the line. 
Plus, previous versions of Evolution didn't have the Find Regular
Expression (at least, not that I noticed). Having that function assigned to
CTRL-E interferes with Emacs text editing shortcuts since CTRL-E should
move the cursor to the end of the line. 

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Set Shortcut Type to "Emacs".
2. Start a new message and type some text into the message body.
3. Hit CTRL-A which should move the cursor to the beginning of the line and
all of the text in the message will be highlighted instead.

Actual Results:
CTRL-A selects all text.
CTRL-E brings up the Find Regular Expression search dialog.


Expected Results:
CTRL-A should move the cursor to the beginning of the line.
CTRL-E should move the cursor to the end of the line.


How often does this happen? 
Always.

This is still a problem on evolution 1.4.0 (with libgtk 2.2.1 and
libpango 1.2.1).
Comment 2 Ettore Perazzoli 2003-06-17 20:40:47 UTC
(Pretty sure this is a dup.)
Comment 3 Jeffrey Stedfast 2003-06-17 20:50:39 UTC
why was this assigned to mailer? mailer doesn't do emacs keybindings.
Comment 4 Jacob Lee 2003-06-18 05:25:36 UTC
Yes, this is a duplicate of #41187 -- it's hard to notice, though,
since 41187 is filed under GtkHTML (as is proper) and most people
would encounter this problem inside Evolution.
