Claws Mail version 3.7.9 XUbuntu 11.10 on a Dell XPS I am having a problem with certain letters not being available while composing emails, also the letter "b" acts as a back space. Here is a copy of the keyboard output. qwrtyuiop asdghjkl zxcvnm Thanks Paul
It sounds as though you have inadvertently assigned 'b' as backspace. On the "Edit menu, Advanced" check "Delete a character backwards". If a 'b' is shown as short cut,press <CTRL>H to reassign this key combo as (the default value) I hope that makes sense.
You can also unassign hotkeys by use of the Delete key. To prevent accidentally setting hotkeys in future, turn off the option "Enable customisable keyboard shortcuts'
The Missing letters are 'b e f' I have tried the suggestion with crtl H no effect In the address or subject the letter 'b e f' do not appear unless super-l or super-r key is used In the message body 'b' acts as a back space, 'f' sends the cursor forward one letter; but not to the last letter on the line, 'e' sends the cursor to the end of the line except the last line. The super-l or super-r key produces the desired letter.
If you can't locate the wrongly assigned hotkeys by looking at the menus, then quit Claws and remove ~/.claws-mail/menurc before restarting
Thank you That worked
