Re: [Evolution] Keyboard shortcut (accelerator) to get to the Search bar in Evolution

Hi, when you hold the Alt key on the keyboard for a few seconds (it's like 2 for me), then some of the letters get underlined, both in the top menu bar, then also in the search bar. The English translation shows me the 'w' in the "Show:", 'c' in the "Search:" and 'n' in the "in" words on the search bar, thus pressing Alt+W focuses the Show combo, Alt+C the Search entry and so on. Your translation can have chosen different letters as accelerators.

I'm not sure if I'm ready to do that.___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

So far this has always been an issue for me. I am using Oracle Linux, which is a fork of RHEL. The evolution version shipped with my distribution had some serious gtk-related issues, so I tried to backport the latest-possible evolution version. I ended up with evolution 3.20, which is still fairly old. Here's some examples of related package versions on my box: gnome-shell-3.14.4-53.el7.x86_64 webkitgtk3-devel-2.4.9-6.el7.x86_64 gtk3-devel-3.14.13-20.el7_3.1.x86_64 I would not mind backporting some referenced libraries, build tools etc., but dependencies of the newer evolution version went deep into gnome, so that I would have had to use entirely my own gnome installation which I did not want (since this usually creates lots of issues and conflicts with other packages). I usually use the .src.rpm files for Fedora that I get on rpmfind.net as a basis, and I may have to adapt this and that. Maybe the dependencies listed there are not what is actually really needed? I would really like to have an up-to-date evolution version, but so far this has been pretty much out of reach for me. Cheers, Martin -- Dr. Martin Dietze 1.

Maybe the > dependencies listed there are not what is actually really needed? Hi, that 'there' means rpmfind or the .spec file? The .spec file is correct. I forgot of one important change when writing the previous post, the switch to WebKit2 (from WebKit1 usage), which is the reason why you stopped on 3.20.x, because WebKit2 (Fedora has it packages as webkitgtk4) is very new (the other main dependencies like glib2 and gtk3 are not for that latest code). My fault, I'm sorry for confusion.

[Evolution] can't change any preference setting
Hi, I use Evolution 3.18.5.2 on a Debian jessy box. Adding accounts etc. is no problem, but nearly all preference settings (eg preference -> composer preference -> format essages in html) can't be set.

Please describe what "can't be set" means. Also, is 3.18 the default version shipped by Debian? Have you checked the Debian bug tracker?

Run Evolution from the command line and see if there are any error messages when you try and change those settings.
