Summary: Kmail menu hiding with ctrl+m
Product: kmail
Version: unspecified
Platform: Mandriva RPMs
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: GUI
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: Paristo Gmail com
Version: (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from: Mandriva RPMs
Old users often dont use menubar at all in Kmail. They only need few buttons
what are needed for basic email using.
New(write)
Get emails
Reply
Forward
(some likes “next unread”)
Move to trash
Print
And menubar can add all kind problems, because when they click it mistaken etc.
File > quit is not needed because they close application from X (corner), like
all other applications, many dont even know they can go “file > quit” because X
is always there for them.
I still get questions how to remove menu bar by users who are over 60 years old.
This is current view of most of my (old age) customers

How i would like to configure kmail for them, is the Ctrl+M option what would
give this option:

It does not look “so important” from normal user but it would be great help for
old users who dont need menu but what is always possible to get when they ask
support on phone/email.
And then it would be easy to tell “press ctrl button and M together, then you
can see up a menu bar, select…”
Konqueror even have toolbar button “Show Menubar” what could be added so it’s
not needed to press ctrl+M combination, this is important for few users who has
problems to locate ctrl or press two buttons same time (one of my customer has
a parkinson so he forgets things easily, especially combinations).
I suggest that ctrl+M option is brought back to Kmail, but by default shortcut
would not be enabled for that, so menu bar would not get hided by mistaken, but
for those who need option to hide menubar (because usability), can hide it.
And this is just feedback what i have got from old users.
