Version: Unbekannt (using KDE 3.3.2 Level "a" , unofficial build of SUSE ) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.5-7.111.5-default It'd be great to start a new email whatever you're doing at the moment in contact. For example if you're in calendar, I'd like to press Ctrl-M and get a "new message"-window, write my email, send it and still have the Calendar-view in the background. Same would be great for "new todo" (Ctrl-T), "new appointment" (Ctrl-A), etc.
Hi, maybe you can try doing this: Go to KDE Control Center -> Regional & Accessibility -> KHotKeys -> New Action. Then in Action Name put somehting like "KMail Compose new message" , in Action type select Keyboard Shortcut -> Command/URL (simple). Then go to the Keyboard Shortcut tab and select the combination of keys you want to launch the new mail compose window. Then on the Command/URL Setttings, enter the following: kmail '' Please note the final quotes ( '' ), they are nescessary, or it will not work. I hope this is what you were looking for. Greetings.
You can also call the command kmail --composer
This is possible in KDE4. ctrl-shift-M for a new message, ctrl-shift-T for a new todo and so on.
