Neither refer to F2. Some of the TB! menus can be extremely confusing. Especially since the behaviour of F2 versus SHIFT+F2 depends upon what option you select in your Account | Properties | Transport | Delivery: Immediate / Deferred. F2 assumes the role of SHIFT+F2 and vice versa, depending on what you select here, and this may vary from account to account. If you look at this screenshot -- which is the current configuration of keyboard shortcuts in my editor: www.avenarius.sk/misc/short.png -- it is totally confusing. I don't know what the hell the entries are supposed to mean -- how come there's a double entry for one item, with two different shortcuts shown that however produce *different* results on my system? In spite of the confusion I've somehow succeeded in configuring the Editor's behaviour to my satisfaction, which is F2 = queue in outbox, SHIFT+F2 = send immediately, with the Deferred Delivery option selected. CTRL+ENTER equally queues in outbox, but I don't use it. Unfortunately the CTRL+ENTER shortcut refuses to get deleted or relocated on this machine; it gets restored for its default menu item every time you open another message to edit. And it is true that, as you say, F2 is shown nowhere among the regular "Message" menu items. SS> I couldn't figure out what was meant by "in the editor F2 means SS> "Send mail". I don't see how anyone would know that except by SS> stumbling across it by accident, as I did. Guess all of us did! It's a fantastic achievement for Ritlabs to be offering configurable keyboard shortcuts in 1.60 (the original rumour had it this would only be incorporated in Version 2 for which you need to re-register) but it would probably offend no one if the current Keyboard Shortcuts Editor were completely redesigned from scratch for Version 2. (For instance, a useful currently missing option is "Restore All Defaults". Or, in the manner of DreamWeaver 4, the option to save any particular set of keyboard shortcuts and the ability to switch between such sets effortlessly from within the application.) In fact the most recent rumour has it that Version2 will indeed feature a completely redisigned Keyboard Shortcuts Editor along with the ability for each user to completely redesign the appearance of all menus. So our unease about the missing F2 menu item shouldn't last beyond the appearance of V2. -- Yours, Alex. of Slovakia www.avenarius.sk [flying with The Bat! 1.60 under Windows 98 4.10 Build 2222 A amd k6-2 500 mhz processor with 128 mb ram] ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60c FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
