This i got working too. But now i am looking for a way to tell GNOME, or EVO, that i would like to map key 'F35' to the 'reply' (now ctrl+r) keystroke. This i cannot find anywhere in the Gnome setup/config, nor in the Evolution config. As i look at kde, all programs give you the option to assign keys to functions, just like reply, new, forward, etc. I got those working ok...
