Hi, Please allow me to vent. What the hell good is overstrike mode in KMail? I claim less than none. (Apparently Piers Anthony disagrees...). I hate it! Can I disable it somehow, somewhere? I couldn't find anything via Web searching. Well, that really wasn't much venting, was it? Randall Schulz
I just can't remember where I put it. Just kidding, sorry. :o) I have a Creative Zen that in the past, when I plug it in to the USB port a message box would pop up asking if I wanted to open kfmclient to view the files. Today, nothing happened. I also looked at /media, where I've found the automounted USB devices before, but found nothing. There are two folders named usb-9205291:0:0:0p1 and usb-0002F0F72061420C:0:0:0p1, but they are both empty (and I'm not even sure what they're there for). I also looked at the USB Devices Monitor. It does show the Creative Zen attached and recognizes what it is. So how do I get to the files on the device? How do I get the message box to pop up again? Thanks. -- Bill Lugg Milstar Software Support Peterson AFB, CO

I´m using SuSE 9.3 x86_64 with libnjb-2.2.4-0, kionjb-0.2.4-0 and kzenexplorer-0.6-0 and a Creative ZEN Micro Ver. 1.11.01 and I haven´t expierenced any problems so far. But I never saw kfmclient popping upafter connecting my ZEN with my PC! So, what are you using? I know that there are would be problems with newer or updated versions of the firmware, because then the ZENs use MIT to communicate with OSes and programs. Greetings Yours Th. Weber

Well, I finally got around to working on this problem again. I installed the packages you suggested below. When I open kzenexplorer, it gives me a "Could not open" error. If I start from the shell, I get "usb_set_configuration: Operation not permitted". This leads me to believe that there is a permission issue, though I'm not sure where. I used sux and ran it again and got the following: ---- kbuildsycoca running...

Open a KMail composition window. Type some text. Place the insertion point in the middle. Press the "Insert" key once. Now you're in overstrike mode (there is NO feedback or indication that you're in this mode). Type some characters. Instead of inserting themselves at the cursor, they replace the character immediately following it. Now consider what happens if you're composing mail and accidentally hit the insert key. It drives me crazy. Eudora has an internal setting (documented on their Web site) to disable its interpretation of the Insert key as an insert / overstrike toggle. KMail needs its own counterpart, if it does not already have it. Piers Anthony is a Science Fiction writer. If you search the Web for "KMail Overstrike," the first hit (from A9 or Google) is a monthly journal page in which he expresses his like for overstrike mode in KMail. There's another one mentioning how he likes having it in KWrite. Randall Schulz

OK, to me that would be overwrite. Overstrike sounds like what evolution does to email subject headers when you hit Delete if you don't have it set to autohide deleted emails Anyway, you can (should) set kmail to use kate as external editor. Then you'll see in the status bar which mode you're in, INS (normal insert) or OVR (overwrite) Sorry, I don't know how to turn it off, other than to disable the numeric keypad (keypad 0 is the toggle key for me)

This sounds like every app I have every tried....not just in kmail. For example, the same behaviour can be found in OpenOffice and KDevelop. However, with OpenOffice and KDevelop (which uses Kate as the editor), there's a status bar at the bottom says either INS or OVR, kmail mail is lacking this. Either way, this is normal and accepted behaviour of the Insert key. If you want this to be changed, I suggest looking in to the X keybindings. Perhaps disable your Insert key via X so that when you hit it, it does nothing? Alvin -- Please reply to the list.

Frankly, I consider it something no one would ever want (and I shout that every time it happens). I can see Vi having the R command and maybe some tabular or columnar kind of text editing utility or application affording that mode, but in an email client's composition interface? It has got to be the most vanishingly small percentage of users who ever use it and then rarely. It's totatly farkakte.

Who the hell uses SHIFT+Insert? Frankly, I consider it something no one would ever want. Everybody on this planet uses CTRL-V as shortcut for the paste operation :) But if you want to keep your unusual behavior of using SHIFT+Insert AND sometimes even mistyping that, I suggest you open a new message and then go to Settings -> Configure Shortcuts... -> Paste. Then replace the primary shortcut with Insert (without modification key). Now you wouldn't even notice your mistake. But if you also want to keep the primary setting of Ctrl+V there is another option: Select something you would not care about, if your typo happens like e.g. "Request Disposition Notification" or maybe more appropriate here: "Report Bug...".

Pardon, but IIRC Konsole uses Shift+Insert as default for pasting. Donno why. I now realize I can change it using Konsole > Settings > Configure Shortcuts, but I guess I'll stay with Shift + Insert.

CTRL+V must be allowed to get to the TTY driver so it can perform its "literal next" function. You could change that, too, but I'm not looking to completely reprogram the parts of my basal ganglia that handle typing.

Actually, there are quite a few who use COMMAND+V (or CLOVER+V).
But if you want to keep your unusual behavior of using SHIFT+Insert
It's hardly unusual. Many applications support it and sometimes it's more convenient. The fact that originated in Windows doesn't make it bad.
AND sometimes even mistyping that, I suggest you open a new message and then go to Settings -> Configure Shortcuts... -> Paste.
The Paste action is not configurable as a Keyboard Shortcut.
Then replace the primary shortcut with Insert (without modification key). Now you wouldn't even notice your mistake. But if you also want to keep the primary setting of Ctrl+V there is another option: Select something you would not care about, if your typo happens like e.g. "Request Disposition Notification" or maybe more appropriate here: "Report Bug...".
Obviously I need to keep CTRL+V for paste. I use it more than SHIFT+Insert. But it's not relevant, since as I mentioned, the Paste action is not subject to Keyboard shortcut mapping.

Ooops - that's interesting, because I actually did change it. As I am sure you tried it (as suggested after opening a new message), I suppose that feature is now missing in your version 1.9.1 of Kmail (I only tried it with my version 1.8.3).
