Some hotkeys won't work even if you think you changed them in-program.

Quit Claws Mail before pursuing this.

On Windows, edit %AppData%\Claws-mail\menurc

It is important you find any existing entry which has your hotkey, un-comment it and replace its hotkey with something unique, or ""

For example, to have n go to the next unread item, do:

(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/Menu/View/Goto/NextNew" "")
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/Menu/View/Goto/NextUnread" "n")

Configuration > Actions

• Menu name: Edit current
• Command: "C:\Program Files\Geany\bin\geany.exe" --new-instance %f

• (o) Shell command

Then in %AppData%\Claws-mail\menurc add

(gtk_accel_path "<MainwinActions>/Menu/Tools/Actions/Edit current" "<Primary>e")
