"Show remote content" hotkey?

[tallredpaul]

@Morat
Thank you so much for your assistance. I tried many things trying to get it to work with no success. I decided that if it worked for MicheleBS, it should work for me too (and so I must be doing something wrong). After checking many things I came to realize I had recently made a minor change to the message body view settings (in Thunderbird, "View -> Message Body As -> Simple HTML"). When I changed it back to "Original HTML", everything worked perfectly. It seems even old programmers (me) can make simple changes causing BIG PROBLEMS. I continue to learn my lesson.

Thanks again for your patient help and assistance.

Glad you got it working.

Hi everyone,

I just bought a new laptop and so it was time to re-install all programs from the old laptop. One of the programs was of course Thunderbird. It seems that I was using an "old" version where I had modified some key bindings. After installing TB78 I am not able to use the old extension. I found the tbkeys extension but, being a total zero in programming, I can't for the life of me modify/create 1 key binding.
I "succeeded" in disabling all single key bindings (that was easy, I found the code in the review section of the extension page) but I would like to have this added :
Remove the CTRL+S binding (that does I don't know what) and make it so that CTRL+s is assigned to "send message"

Could anyone on here smarter than me (so anyone of you) help me out with this?

Thanks in advance,
Dimitri

Here is the command for the File > Send Now menu item in the compose window.

Code: Select all

window.goDoCommand('cmd_sendNow');

Try the following compose key bindings in settings if you are using the tbkeys addon.

Code: Select all

{
  "ctrl+s": "window.goDoCommand('cmd_sendNow');"
}

Try the following compose key bindings in settings if you are using the tbkeys-lite addon.

Code: Select all

{
  "ctrl+s": "cmd:cmd_sendNow"
}

You cannot execute arbitrary javascript using the tbkeys-lite addon.

The File > Save menu item uses the Ctrl+S shortcut normally.

THANKS A MILLION!!! Works flawlessly.

@Morat :
One last request (promised )

I used to use the "r" key as "markAsRead", but it's now assigned to MarkThreadasRead. I unset the m key (that is assigned to the markAsRead command) and tried the following command

{"r": "cmd:cmd_markAsRead"}

But that doesn't seem to be right...no idea why. Can you help me out please?

Thanks,
Dimitri

@ChaosDM242

I'm not sure what you are asking.

Here are the Read commands.

Code: Select all

window.goDoCommand('cmd_toggleRead');
window.goDoCommand('cmd_markAsRead');
window.goDoCommand('cmd_markAsUnread');
window.goDoCommand('cmd_markThreadAsRead');
window.goDoCommand('cmd_markReadByDate');
window.goDoCommand('cmd_markAllRead');

Do you have a syntax error in your settings?

The settings page will not allow invalid JSON to be submitted.

P.S.

You should post shortcut requests in the keyconfig thread.

OK, I see and "understand" the commands...but I still must be doing something wrong.

This is what I have in my "Compose Key Bindings" box

{"alt+s": "cmd:cmd_sendNow"}
{"r": "window.goDoCommand('cmd_markAsRead')"}

But the program doesn't accept this (syntax)...more than likely because the 2nd line is "wrong". But I don't know what's wrong

[morat]

Are you using the tbkeys or tbkeys-lite addon?

Main key bindings example 1:

Code: Select all

{
    "j": "window.goDoCommand('cmd_nextMsg');",
    "k": "window.goDoCommand('cmd_previousMsg');",
    "o": "window.goDoCommand('cmd_openMessage');"
}

Main key bindings example 2:

Code: Select all

{
    "j": "cmd:cmd_nextMsg",
    "k": "cmd:cmd_previousMsg",
    "o": "cmd:cmd_openMessage"
}

You can use example 1 or example 2 with the tbkeys addon.

You can only use example 2 with the tbkeys-lite addon.

The "cmd:cmd_markAsRead" command only works in the main window.

The "cmd:cmd_sendNow" command only works in the compose window.

[ChaosDM242]

Great...it works! THANKS (again)!

@tallredpaul and @MicheleBS,

Do either of you have a copy (on your computer) of the tbkeys.xpi install file that supports the following feature? Could you possibly send it to me in a private message?

Have you saved the "hacked" version of tbkeys-v2.1.0.1.xpi (if that's the version number) that supports Message-window-key-bindings? I tried to get a copy of this file per this discussion, but @morat no longer has an available copy of the software.

@tallredpaul

Okay. I sent a link using the 2.1.0 version in a private message.

Remember to (1) (2) (3), then restart before installing the hacked version.

1. backup key bingings just in case
2. uninstall current version
3. set addons to update manually

[morat]

You can hack the tbkeys extension, then add a message key binding.

Tools > Addons > tbkeys > Options > Settings > Message key bindings

The message key bindings fire in the message window.

Thanks @morat! Can you also private-message me a hacked copy of tbkeys v2.2.0 (per above)?

[morat]

Okay. I sent a link in a private message.
