Having moved MM to a new computer, I find I want to use some key
bindings and on reading closely the manual discover this: “Do not
edit these files. Changes should be placed in separate files as
described further below. The file named Standard.plist is always in
use, but Gmail.plist is more interesting.”
I have neither standard.plist or gmail.plist in my
Resources/KeyBindings folder. How should I fix this?
Hi Annamarie,
If you read just above the part of the Help file that you quoted, it
gives the full path to these files:
MailMate.app/Contents/Resources/KeyBindings/
These files actually reside *inside* the MailMate application. Although
it's not well known except to developers, on a Mac, an application is
actually a special kind of folder. It's very important not to edit
anything inside an application because it could break the application.
Keep reading the Help file, and you see:
It is also possible to create new key bindings files in the following
folder location:
~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Resources/KeyBindings/
That's where you can put custom key bindings files to override the files
that are built into the application. The ~ in the path is developer
shorthand for your account's home folder ([Computer]/Macintosh
HD/Users/[Your account name]).
Hope this clears up the confusion!
John
