Command keys for Mail ActOn shortcuts
Hi,
Quick question- does anyone know if it is possible to use the command key in a Mail ActOn menu key?
The reason that I ask is that in Mail most of the action keys
for a message are SHIFT-CMD-key
e.g. SHIFT-CMD-F to forward, SHIFT-CMD-D to deliver etc.
I would like to be able to move a message using SHIFT-CMD-V (to
bring up the move message box) but it seems that CMD cannot be part
of the shortcut used.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I have avoided the use of cmd keys because of the number of conflicts it would have with menu keyboard short cuts.
I haven't had the time to really look at doing this in a way that prevents conflicts of this type.

Scott,
That's maybe understandable - support is a non-trivial activity, but I would love to have the ability to do this- CMD-SHIFT-key commands are very much the standard way to carry out actions in Mail and my brain is rather heavily wired that way :) For now I'm having to use ALT-SHIFT-V (Function keys don't work for me - they are too far away from my fingers!)
One suggestion on how this could be achieved with no conflict; if Mail ActOn added the menu items into Mail.App's menu then anyone who wanted this could use the Keyboard shortcuts tab in the Keyboard Preferences Pane to assign any shortcut they wanted- that over-rides any shortcuts already set and restores them upon deletion.
