Q07 How can I change the key-bindings (hot-keys) in Sylpheed?
</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>That is very simple. Suppose you want to assign a
shortcut key to a function, e.g. sending all mail
out should start when you press Ctrl-Y. Click the
Message' menu and move the mouse over "Send all
messages". Now you press Ctrl-Y. Immediately the menu
text is updated and the function is in place. Please
note that a previous function that Ctrl-Y was
assigned to, will no longer have a shortcut key. If
you want to remove the key binding, do the same
thing, but press the "delete" key on the menu-item.
Then the key binding is removed.
