I tried to change some gnome evolution keyboard accelerators. I tried to edit ~/.config/evolution/accels which seems to hold all the defined keyboard accelerators. Unfortunately my modifications of this file are not used by evolution and instead this file gets overwritten with the defaults all the time I open evolution.

I even killed all evolution processes before edititing ~/.config/evolution/accels but that didn't help -- evolution still doesn't respect the file's contents and overwrites it.

Any idea how to configure keyboard accelerators for evolution?

I found out myself that I've to remove the comment semicolons in front of the lines in ~/.config/evolution/accels while evolution is stopped. Then the uncommented lines are respected by evolution. Yet evolution overwrites ~/.config/evolution/accels but it keeps the edits.

Example of ~/.config/evolution/accels with a F8 beeing assigned

; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/mail/mail-goto-menu" "") ; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/mail/mail-folder-select-thread" "<Primary>h") (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/mail/mail-to-do-bar" "F8") ; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/mail/mail-find" "<Primary><Shift>f")
