Description Xushi 2007-10-10 10:54:15 UTC
Version:           1.9.7 (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

When you go to Settings -> Configure Kmail -> Accounts -> Sending (or Receiving)

Notice the Add button on the top right has an Alt+D keyboard shortcut. However it seems to clash with the Alt+D keyboard shortcut for the "Defaults" button on the bottom left. Pressing Alt+D would go to the Defaults button and not the Add button.

The same can be also found in 
Composer -> Subject
Composer -> Charset
Composer -> Attachments


Missing Shortcuts

Composer -> General
"Edit Recent Addresses..." doesn't seem to have a shortcut.

Composer -> Subject
the bottom Add buton.

Security -> Warnings
the actual warnings tab itself

Security -> S/Mime Validation
The two Validate certificate button lists.

Confirmed in 3.5 branch and trunk.

Simple enough to fix - just remove all of the '&'s from buttons and labels,
and let Qt assign the accelerators automatically.  Unfortunately trunk is in string freeze now so it may not be possible to fix this until after the KDE 4.0 release.

Some of the issues are still present on 1.11.2.

Now it has Alt+A and not conflicting. Default doesn't have shortcut though.

It shows Alt+E but same assigned to and opens headers.

One has short cut and other doesn't.

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2.

We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
