Safari 3.0 and German Keyboard

[schubsi]

Hi Zimbra Team,

just wanted to drop a note that using Safari 3 on German Mac OS X works great except that you are not able to type an "@" in the "To:"-Field when creating a new message. Firefox works, Safari not. Typing "@" on a German Mac OS X is typing "alt" and "L", btw.

Thanks for your great work,
Andreas

Hi,

found the reason myself. "Alt"+"L" is a shortcut... The only strange thing is that Firefox is working as expected in "To"-Fields...

But now the next question: is it possible to redefine or modify the shortcuts (so that i might be able to type "Alt" + "L" in Safari)

[eMHa]

My users also report this problem:
Mac OS X (Leopard)
Safari
Firefox 2.x

Can't input @-sign (Alt+L) in to-field while composing a new email in webclient. Also affected is the desktop client.

Where can i change the shortcuts?

In a post from 2006 it is supposed to change shurtcuts in ZmKeyMap.js, but this file doesn't contain a definition for Alt+L.

hi,

this problem occours on ALL osx versions with ALL browser not only for Safari!

for me this is really a major bug because for macintosh users, it's NOT possible to compose a mail with zimbra (web and standalone), because it's not possible to enter a "@" char with the os x standard Shurtcut for it - "Alt+L".

zimbra chooses "Alt+L" as shortcut for "low priority".
...,so you can see, it seems not easy to find reasonable shortcuts ;-)
are there no german zimbra developer which are using osx?

well, i've already solved this issue on my own, and now "@" is now working as expected :-)

i'm worry about that,
nean

You can modify the respective /opt/zimbra/mailboxd/webapps/zimbra/WEB-INF/classes/keys ZmKeys_de.properties & ZhKeys_de.properties files:
compose.LowPriority = Alt+L

Could one of you file a Localization (L10n) bug?

ok,
i've made a bug report:

Bug 28221 - shurtcut "Alt+L" coflicts with "@" char on german mac keyboard

btw. thanks for all the good work!

You could also add a line in the _de files so only German mac users have a different key:
compose.LowPriority = Alt+L
compose.LowPriority.mac = Ctrl+L

(or something like Ctrl+Alt+L)

Note: If you get * stars in the thread email ignore them (I bolded the .mac part at first to highlight it, but realized that often shows weird in the subscription email.)

Simply:
compose.LowPriority.mac = Ctrl+L
