Version: 1.10.3 (using 4.1.3 (KDE 4.1.3), Arch Linux) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27-ARCH The Kmail shortcut for the well hidden'new message to mailing list' is not working is conflicting with the kontact shortcut for 'new popup note', resulting in neither working.
In svn trunk revision 896776, the new message to mailing list default shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+N, in kontact, the shortcut for new popup note is Ctrl+N, the same as New Message in kmail. In any case, I see the window: The key sequence Ctrl+N is ambiguous. Use configure shortcuts from the settings menu to solve the ambiguity. No action will be triggered.
I just checked this with kmail 1.11.1: Hitting Ctrl+Shift+N creats a new popup note, Ctrl+N a new mail message.
Me too, if I am in the kmail view in kontact. In other views, c-n gives the annoying message.
In svn trunk r939757 (kde 4.2.66), inside kontact Ctrl+Shift+N is for a new note. Ctrl+N is for new mail, without the message (in all the views except the notes view). In kmail alone, Ctrl+Shift+N does nothing.
Similar problem with double definition of Copy shortcut, that triggered complaint by KMail. Reset to Defaults deleted all shortcuts, defaults are missing. It happened after using KMail within KDE PIM. I'm not sure about missing defaults, is it packaging problem ie. distro specific, but doubled entry appear as KDE problem. openSUSE 11.1 KDE 4.2.2
There are different problems at work here. 1. It is not possible to configure the shortcuts for the syncActions and newActions of KontactInterface::Plugin instances. They are added to the kontact mainwindow by putting them into the appropriate KActionMenus but they are not added to the KShortcutsEditor for kontact. Only the parts shortcuts are added. Not those of the plugin. 2. The default shortcuts clash. CTRL+Shift+<some key> is used for all those "new <whatever>" shortcuts so the rest of the application should use them sparingly. I have currently no idea to solve that problem. I would have to discuss with david to refresh my knowledge how to do it. It depends on when kontact loads its plugins. Whoever is willing to solve the problem may contact me.
Something new about this issue???
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.
