Icedove: Disable Ctrl-Enter, keyboard shortcuts more generally.

Tags:

Icedove has a feature where if you press Ctrl-Enter, it offers to send the
email. If you press Ctrl-Enter, Enter, it sends the email. Is it possible
to disable this, so pressing Ctrl-Enter does nothing, or at worst enters a
new line into the message? The dialog box saves me from sloppy fingers if
I inadvertently type Ctrl-Enter, but it doesn’t save me from sloppy
fingers if I inadvertently type Ctrl-Enter, Enter.

(Most gtk programs on my computer allow me to reconfigure keyboard
shortcuts simply by pointing at the menu item and pressing the shortcut I
want to assign to that item, or backspace to delete the current
assignment. I know Icedove doesn’t use gtk, but is it possible to easily
change keyboard shortcuts similarly? or at all?)

Thanks!

Not sure, but maybe this[0] is of use to you.

Hm, it tells me how to change it from being Ctrl-Enter to Alt-Enter (along
with everything else) ... seeing as I never use any of the Ctrl-combos
that become Alt-combos, it looks like it’s a solution that works, but not
in the best way possible. Thanks for your help. (The rest in it is
directed towards the old suite, and it’s different enough I can’t convert
it properly.)

Its history is irrelevant. I don’t care who started it or how many mail
clients do it; I just want it to stop!

I'm not sure whether it originated with MS or Netscape, but
Ctrl-Enter has been used for many years to Send Email.
