I'm one of the people who actually makes use of the Seamonkey Composer.
Yes, I know that it's unsupported, and that it has numerous
limitations and annoyances, but I've found it to be useful for
quick-and-dirty HTML editing.
Over the last few days, I've found problems with the composer, in that
it's not letting me edit anything. I don't think that's related to
upgrading to SM 2.30, but likely something funky in my user profile. I
have found that if I use Safe Mode, the composer is working OK.
Rather than trying to debug profile settings, or rebuild a profile, I've
been using Komposer, and that seems to be working fine, where the
operational procedure is nearly identical to the Composer. (I know that
Blue Griffon is newer, and that's where the development work is being
applied, but I find that one frustrating, in that it's difficult to
resize fonts quickly. Thus, for what I'm doing it looks like Kompozer
is adequate).
In the process, I'm finding that the one thing that I really miss about
the Composer is the keyboard shortcut used to launch it. It's really
nice to be viewing an HTML file, and simply press CTRL-E to open, and
start editing. By contrast, with Kompozer (or for that matter, any
other HTML editor), I have to do the combination of opening the editor,
and then navigating to find the file. It's minor, but annoying.
The question I have is whether there's a way of creating a keyboard
shortcut that replicates this function: call a specified HTML editor to
edit the file that's being viewed. (I'm assuming that CTRL-E is
hard-coded into Seamonkey to call the Composer element, and can't be
redirected to call an external program).
