Hi all,

I'm using Claws 3.7.9, after just upgrading from Ubuntu 11.04 + Gnome 2
to Ubuntu 11.10 + Xfce. Before, I had been using the keystroke d as the
hotkey to move to trash, and I really liked it that way. Now I can no
longer use d. I can use x, or pretty much any other unused keystroke,
as a hotkey for "move to trash", but when I hover the "move to trash"
selection on the menu, and press the d key, instead of recording the
keystroke it acts like I pressed Enter and just goes ahead and
terminates the menu, and then moves the item to the trash. It does this
if I hover the "reply" menu selection also. It's as if, somewhere deep
in the system, there's still some sort of a link from the d key to
"move to trash", but it's not available on the menu. If I press the d
key without hovering a menu, nothing happens.

I looked throughout the menu hierarchy and see no item with d as a
hotkey. I used a file manager to view all the likely candidates in
$HOME/.claws-mail but could find no file storing hotkeys.

What would be my next step in figuring out how to assign d to "move to
trash?"

Thanks

I am having my own troubles with hotkeys (and other things) today after
an upgrade.  I can share that the $HOME/.claws-mail/menurc file stores
entries for hotkey definitions if that helps.

Subject: [Users] Troubles with claws-mail 3.8 upgrade
Message-ID: <20120520092241.40f6e9df at midgel>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 10.04 to Xubuntu 12.04.  Along with
that I installed claws-mail from the current repos and got version
3.8.  I am using the same $HOME/.claws-mail directory to run the new
version.  I have noticed a few odd things:

1. Can't send and receive mail - When I try with the new install I only
get "SSL Handshake failed" errors.  I am using the same setup as my
3.7.4 install in which everything worked beautifully. In fact I kept
the Ubuntu 10.04 install in a separate partition and when I boot into
that I can use claws-mail normally.  I can't find a solution to this
online so any input is appreciated.

2. Python plugin - I installed the python plugin but can't browse and
edit my plugin scripts from within claws-mail.  When I go to Tools >
Python Scripts > Browse, nothing happens.  Again the files are there in
my .claws-mail directory and this all works normally when I boot to the
older Ubuntu and run 3.7.4.

Any input, suggested reading, etc. is appreciated.  I am a long time
claws user and have loved it because of its stability.  Since it is so
stable I have not upgraded or had to change any settings in at least 2
years!

Hi Thomas,

It helps a bunch. My /home/slitt/.claws-mail/menurc is a zero length
file. So something's sure getting wierd, because I've changed a few of
the hotkeys.

Hmmmm.

Thanks

Sounds like you need a new menurc file, even the original one without
changes would be a step in the right direction!  I am not sure where to
get one short of reinstalling claws-mail, hopefully someone on this
list more familiar with the package will chime in soon.

All you have to do is remove the current menurc and a new one will be
created.

It could be a permissions problem. Did you copy the old .claws-mail
directory to your new installation?

In my opinion, you should always upgrade when a new version is
released. This is self-evident though - it we didn't think that then
we wouldn't have any reason to do new releases.
