It never worked for me using Debian, not even now with Evolution 3.03.

“Crtl-Return” is an extremely frustrating “feature” of Evolution.

GNOME was meant to be usable!!! help!!!

Now that I know about this feature I wonder why other applications don’t use it as well. Such a quick way to configure shortcuts I’ve never seen anywhere else. I would be happy if it became a standard like ctrl+ins/shift+ins/…

But it was really hard to get to know about it.
Thanks a lot!

Wow! I thought either I or my computer was going crazy. Even contemplating re-building the entire system after my “L” key started playing up in Evolution. Thanks for the info.

Thumbs up to Evolution for allowing this easy configuration of shortcut keys.

Thumbs down to them for not documenting it.

Double-thumbs down for allowing single keys (like M or L) to be set as a shortcut key without requiring Ctrl or Alt etc. Who does that? At least display a warning, or a confirmation that you’ve changed a short-cut key, anything!!

Anyway, I’m happy (and sane) again.

“It’s an awesome way to handle shortcuts but there is a distinct lack of documentation on it so hopefully this article will find its way onto some google searches of people with a similar dilema.”

It certainly did!

Hello,
This is awesome..You saved my day.
Somehow the shortcut for toggling to “HTML” mode was assigned to key “N”. I was not able to type “n” in the composer. I spent almost a day trying different things. Your article has helped to come out of this problem.
