This means +that it is very simple to change the key binding +(shortcut key, hotkey) for menu items. If you are used to +a certain key combination from another program, you can tell +Sylpheed to use that same key combination. +<p> +The procedure is very simple. Suppose you want to change the +key binding for getting new mail (message menu) from Alt-I +to Ctrl-M. +<p> + <itemize> -<item>Alt-T: open tool menu -<item>Alt-A: open addressbook -<item>Alt-L: open logfile + <item> + Open the message menu with the mouse or by + pressing Alt-M + </item> + <item> + Select the "get new mail" option (do not click it, + this will activate the function!). If you use the + mouse, just move the mouse cursor over the option. + </item> + <item> + Now you press Ctrl-M. You will immediately see the + new key combination appear on the menu. + </item> </itemize> + +Congratulations, you have just changed a key binding. +This way you can change all the options that you want. +Do note that it is best to use just the alt, shift and +ctrl key combinations. Several functions within Sylpheed +are called up by one-key actions which are programmed in. + +<sect2>Predefined shortcuts +<p> + You can also choose among predefined shortcuts lists, + from the preference settings. Open the <it>Common preferences</it> + window, choose the <it>Interface</it> tab, click the + <it>Set key bindings</it> button. Select one of the predefined + set of key bindings from the list found in the new window + that pops up. </sect2> + +</sect1> + +<sect1>Changing Fonts on Menu, etc. + +<p> +If you want to change the font that shows the menu of Sylpheed, +this is controlled by the window manager that you are using. +You have to go into the setup of the window manager (KDE, Gnome, XFCE) +and change the font to your desired one. + +<p> +Changing the font of the views of Sylpheed is done by selecting +<tt>Common preferences</tt> in the Configuration menu. There you select +the <tt>Display</tt> tab, and in the first section of the window you +can browse the fonts available on your computer. + </sect1> -<sect1>Data Format of Address Book<p> -The addressbook is located in ~/.sylpheed.
