Grin, I am using KDE as WM. And, because of the perfect PIM functionality, I do use Evolution. Therefor, this question was 'as is'. Under KDE, it is possible too to bind a key to a function. This works fine for me. But Evo grabs the key-bindings like ctrl-enter to send from somewhere. And i wanna bind this to my pre-def key 'IB2' which is bound to the Unlocked F9 key on the ms keyboard. And i am still digging :-) Regards, Jacco van Koll Slackware Linux Certified Engineer
