I need to know how to totally disable t-birds hot keys. I mean I don't want it to happen unless I have actually clicked on a command with the mouse. If I didn't click on it, it doesn't happen, it can't happen.
I have a feeling that, strictly speaking, this will be impossible. For example, when editing a message, such as I am now, Ctrl+A selects all the text, Home moves to the start of the line etc. These are _probably_ inherent parts of the text control (rather than being something that Thunderbird explicitly controls), but let's see.
Clicking on Help > Keyboard Shortcuts takes me to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-thunderbird?redirectslug=keyboard-shortcuts&redirectlocale=en-US (I'm not sure why it's insistent I use the en-US locale when my system should be en-GB, but that's beside the point). The only mention of editing/disabling shortcuts is this one line:
> Some shortcuts can be customized or disabled with the use of an add-on.So "some" shortcuts can be [...] disabled, but it doesn't tell you how. But maybe if there is a particular hotkey that's causing a problem, someone else might have had the same problem and written an add-on you can look for?
Is there such a hotkey lock out in tbird? Thank you all; Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
