How to define global accels/keyboard shortcuts/hotkeys in Evolution >= 3.56?

Dear all,

I am having troubles (re)defining global accels. E.g., instead of ctrl + shift + t to create a new task, I’d prefer to just press t.

Before Evolution 3.56, I could achieve this using the user accels file (e.g., ~/.config/evolution/accels). I am aware, that the new way of defining accels is via View → Layout → Customize …. However, I failed to find the required “global action” (previously, e.g., <Actions>/new-item/task-new) to assign the shortcut.

I also tried to manually mess around with the .eui file in .config (e.g., add <accels action='task-new'><accel value='t'/></accels>) without luck.

So please allow me to ask, is there currently still a way to define such global accels?

Thanks and best regards

Lukas

Hi,
I see, you are right, those /new-item/..... are not in the list of
the actions available for customization. They should be.

Would you mind to file a bug against the Evolution, please? It’s here:

It’s okay if you cannot, just let me know and I’ll file it for you
(it’s easier for you to watch the changes when you create the bug).

Thanks and bye,
Milan
