Manually modifying hotkeys ∞
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")

It's fucking ridiculously difficult. I have absolutely no idea how anything works; the instructions are opaque.
