When composing a message, there's no reason I can think of one might want to use forward-slash key to activate the quicksearch popup, instead of typing the "/" character. I couldn't find any means to configure this behavior, except in the KDE global keyboard shortcut settings - which doesn't seem to have any effect. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start a new message 2. Focus the editor pane 3. Press the "/" key Actual Results: The quicksearch popup appears. Expected Results: Insert the "/" character at cursor location. plaintext or rich text setting makes no difference. From "About": Version 5.2.3 Using: KDE Frameworks 5.25.0 Qt 5.7.0 (built against 5.7.0) The xcb windowing system
What is a the quick search ?

I don't know who add this shortcut for your kmail but by default we don't use it. We use kde shortcut CTRL+F not /
OK, this entry was in ~/.config/kdeglobals, under "[Shortcuts]": Find=\\ I have no idea why. It's inconsistent with what the GUI systemsettings shows. Obviously not a kmail bug, then. Thanks.
You just need to revert this shortcut. I close it :)
