In regards to site navigation F1 - F3 the plugin is incompatible with my 'tabbed' plugin. This plugin loads Roundcube tasks into iframes. The purpose is to be able to switch between tasks without a delay. I'll try to create a compatibility patch. As far as I can see on a first glance, the tasks shortcuts (F1 - F3) are hardcoded. What about creating these shortcuts dynamically by parsing the top taskbar? This way you get all plugins which creates a topmenu icon. F8 = Help. I don't think it is a good choice. 'Help' is already occupied by several plugins (real help for Roundcube). I suggest to use something like "Shortcuts legend". > Cor > > _______________________________________________ > Roundcube Development discussion mailing list > [email protected]http://lists.roundcube.net/mailman/listinfo/dev [3] Links: ------ [1] http://unixpapa.com/js/key.html [2] https://github.com/corbosman/keyboard_shortcuts/tree/usersetting [3] http://lists.roundcube.net/mailman/listinfo/dev
