I find that 2 key combinations for 'Delete Message' don't work at all (not even for the first invocation). Not sure if that has a bearing here. The combination I tried was 'Ctrl + d'. I think I've found a relevant lead: It turns out that simply clicking the OK button in the keyboard shortcuts dialog after registering a new shortcut is _not_ enough for the shortcut to become persistently effective. What must additionally be done is to go through the 'Manage Schemes' -> 'Current Schemes' -> 'More actions' -> 'Save shortcuts to Scheme' sequence in order for the newly registered shortcut to become persistently effective. If this isn't done, then the shortcut is weirdly in effect only for the first invocation and is then lost - even though it shows up in the dialog (!). I think that's very misleading. I can now delete messages using my Mutt like single key ('D') shortcut. Not sure if this is documented. I'd like to keep this bug open until either I find relevant documentation or if not, use this bug as a basis for the documentation to be created. if it"s a configure keyboard problem it's a kf5 problem no kmail problem. |
