YEAH! Thank you. I’ve learned SO MUCH more about key bindings.. I could go a little nuts. I **Finally** understand the documentation. Correction to what you sent, I needed to also have a folder inside “Resources” that was “KeyBindings” .

So happy - this comes in the middle of fighting with website development and not understanding that… and now I can load the pics easily on one newsletter I get. : )

Many thanks!

Hi Annamarie,

You're right about the location. And I believe that unless you created it yourself in the past, there is no pre-existing Resources folder or any keybindings file in that location.

If you don't see a Resources folder when you get to `~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/` then you should create it, and create a KeyBindings folder within Resources. In the KeyBindings folder you can create the `Special.plist` file, or you can name it whatever you like as long as the extension is `.plist`.

For the functionality you asked about, the contents of the file would be this:

    {
        "L" = "loadImagesOnce:";
    }


Then follow the instructions in the MailMate manual link I included below, especially the paragraph that begins with "You can enable these key bindings in the Preferences (General pane)." I think you used to have to restart MailMate for the keybindings to take effects, that may or may not still be the case.

Does that work?

Thank you Sherif. I kind thought it might be a key binding but I’m stuck… (not a coder but on computers since the dark ages of floppy disks so file management is comfortable)

According to the documentation:

“It is also possible to create new key bindings files in the following folder location:

~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Resources/KeyBindings/
If you create a file named Special.plist then you need to add Special to the comma-separated list of names in the Preferences, for example, Gmail, Special.”

But I don’t have a “Resources” folder … Unless it is hidden and I have to use Terminal - in which case I’m in over my head. It is not clear to me if I would create a new file inside KeyBindings or add that line of code to the file “Key Bindings” if I could find it.

Would love to understand this.

Thanks

Hi all

Last time I asked for a keystroke it turned out that it was obvious so I’m going to ask for another. Is there one for “Load Once” to get the images that are embedded in an email to load? OR a preference I’ve missed OR??

Thanks.

Annamarie Pluhar

I don't know if there is a pre-existing keystroke for it, but I have the Load Once action bound to "L" (Shift + l) in my [MailMate keybindings](https://manual.mailmate-app.com/custom_key_bindings) file:


        "L" = "loadImagesOnce:";

It works as you would expect - loads the images in an email you're already viewing, but the next message you open will not have its images/external references loaded until you invoke Shift + l again. Hope this helps.
