Hello,

I know how to configure a shortcut by example for "thunderbird", it works well.

I wonder how I can configure a shortcut for the software "mutt".

I tried to configure it with "kmenuedit" or simply with "system settings, shortcuts", it doesn't work.

I think it is necessary that the shortcut opens a terminal and then execute "mutt" in it, but I do not know how to do it.

Thank you for your help,
Denebe.

Hi!

There are different ways. I suggest using the easiest. Copy the konsole desktop file from /usr/share/applications to — or create a new desktop file in — ~/.local/share/applications and edit it to contain only needed parts.

The Exec command should look like `Exec=/usr/bin/konsole --hold -e /usr/bin/mutt`.

Another approach would be to use DBus to create a new tab and execute the command, if you are using yakuake or already have an instance of konsole running.

If you are using the kde menu editor

Code: Select all

konsole -e mutt

in the command field should be enough. Presuming typing "mutt" in konsole is the command to open it.

Personally, I use neomutt and created a konsole profile which loads it. I then used

Code: Select all

konsole --profile Neomutt

"Neomutt" being what I named the profile. The advantage for of this is that you can use the colour theming of konsole profiles to change the appearance.
