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. +</para> + <para> +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. +</para> + <itemizedlist> + <listitem> + <para> + Open the message menu with the mouse or by + pressing Alt-M + </para> + </listitem> + <listitem> + <para> + 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. + </para> + </listitem> + <listitem> + <para> + Now you press Ctrl-M. You will immediately see the + new key combination appear on the menu. + </para> + </listitem> + </itemizedlist> + <para>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.</para> + <section> + <title>Predefined shortcuts </title> + <para> + You can also choose among predefined shortcuts lists, + from the preference settings. Open the <computeroutput>Common preferences</computeroutput> + window, choose the <computeroutput>Interface</computeroutput> tab, click the + <computeroutput>Set key bindings</computeroutput> button. Select one of the predefined + set of key bindings from the list found in the new window + that pops up.</para> + </section> + </section> + <section> + <title>Changing Fonts on Menu, etc. </title> + <para> +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.</para> + <para> +Changing the font of the views of Sylpheed is done by selecting +<guilabel>Common preferences</guilabel> in the Configuration menu.
