The hotkeys are remappable, you know... When pan starts it loads it's keyboard accel mapping from accels.txt, if it exists. When it exits, it dumps them there. There's a togglable GTK function (I forgot what it is now, it's Googlable... with references pointing to this list, IIRC) that allows hovering over a menu entry and typing a key combo to remap it to that function (or hit delete to delete the current mapping), but I've not used that in years. Instead, I copied the accels.txt file and edited it to create a mapping scheme that made sense to me, as well as reordering the (otherwise scrambled) entries into menu order so I could find them. When I want to change the mapping, I make the changes to that file, then with pan closed, copy it back over the active accels.txt file. (For individual remappings, you can simply edit it in place, using your text editor's find function to find the pan function you want to remap. However, pan re-scrambles the file every time it saves it, so if you want to reorder it and/or make more than a handful of changes, making the changes in a copy and then copying it back over the original is the way to go. In the file, a leading semicolon on a line indicates a comment; blank lines are ignored, and the default accels are all commented out, so everything will be commented when you first look at the file. If you'd like, I can post my pre-sorted version. You can either use my scheme or simply use my sorting as a starting point to your own scheme. (In my scheme, a=article, t=thread, g=group, unmodified X (where X is one of a,t,g) is next X, alt-X is next unread X, shift-X is previous X, etc. f=followup and some similar accels remain the same, m=mark-read, shift- m=mark-unread, and three-mod (ctrl-alt-shift-X) opens a dialog or window, l=log-viewer, t=task-manager, n=news-server, p=posting-profile, etc.) Hey, it seemed more logical and made more sense to me! =:^) > Thanks for the thorough explanation.
