How can I change the key-bindings (hot-keys) in Claws Mail?
That is very simple. First, ensure that the option “Enable customizable menu shortcuts” is enabled on the “Other” preferences page, then, 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” (or press Alt+M to unroll the “Message” menu then use the down cursor key to activate this “Send all messages” menu entry). 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. Also see ‘/Configuration/Preferences/Other/Set key bindings…’ where you are able to reset the Default keybindings, or use other predefined keybindings.
