Right, the nifty Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts utility. However, I've noticed that Primary shortcut in Xfce4 are interfering with some <Ctrl> shortcuts in mutt, even when the mutt window is not active. This didn't with the same <Ctrl> shortcuts in Gnome because I wouldn't have been able to use mutt effectively. So Xfce4 is not respecting the window for Primary shortcuts or something is different. -- Regards, Freeman "Microsoft is not the answer. Microsoft is the question.
