[SOLVED] Please save me from Control-S

[jshrager]

In all windows apps, and in most linux apps, ^s means save (or search in emacs). On macs is usually means nothing, but apple-s usually means save. Unfortunately, Zimbra irrevocably binds ^s to the world's most dangerous action: SEND !!!!!!!! I can't count the number of messages that I've sent half-way through because my brain said "save" (as draft), my fingers did ^s, and Zimbe did ... Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! Noooooooo!!!!!!!!!! Please tell me that some future imagined zimbra makes the send bidning user-settable, or allows you to put a protecting confirmation in the way of sending (via ^s), or binds something other than ^s...or ANYTHING to save us from this really really poor choice of shortcuts!

Oy! (And a few more characters to pass the stupid 10-char test!)

As a user is there a way of disabling Ctrl s as send or reassigning it so that it does something else, or even for a dailogue box to pop up and say 'are you sure you want to send', or spell check automatically starts, anything other than send (ctrl-s should be save!).

That RFE is fixed in the upcoming ZCS 5.0.14 (and subsequent future ZD releases).

The new keys are:
CTRL+S: save draft
CTRL+Enter: send message

Currently you can set:
/opt/zimbra/mailboxd/webapps/zimbra/WEB-INF/classes/keys/ZmKeys.properties (or respective language)
zmmailboxdctl restart

compose.Save.display = Ctrl+S
compose.Save.keycode = Ctrl+83
compose.Save.description = Save draft
compose.Save.sort = 30030

compose.Send.display = Ctrl+Enter
compose.Send.keycode = Ctrl+13
compose.Send.description = Send
compose.Send.sort = 30010

Others of interest include:

options.Save.display = Ctrl+S
editContact.Save.display = Ctrl+S
editPage.Save.display = Ctrl+S
editTask.Save.display = Ctrl+S
editAppointment.Save.display = Ctrl+S

That looks very backend. Is there nothing I can set as a user to prompt me before sending the message, even if it's a spell checker, macro or even a dialogue box to confirm sending?

[brianf]

What about disabling it from a user perspective, is there a way to do that?

[brianf]

Nothing at all?

-5.0.14 is out, check with your system admin on your planned upgrade date; or point them at this page to look into doing the quick ZmKeys.properties modification I've listed above.
-Mandatory spellcheck before send isn't till 6.0 so can't use that.
-One could modify the classify check zimlet, the dirty words alerter zimlet, or even the attachment checker zimlet (available in the source/gallery) to essentially do what you want, but they're not user installable, unless your using ZD.
