Bug Description

Currently Evolution has the following short keys for saving:
- "Ctrl + S" for saving as a file
- "Shift + Ctrl + S" for saving as a draft

But the common way is exactly the other way around:
- "Ctrl + S" for saving as a draft
- "Ctrl + Shift + S" for saving as a file

"Saving as a draft" is used very-very often, "Saving as a file" is used very-very seldom. So every time if you want to save the e-mail as a draft, you will perform "Ctrl + S" (as used to use that in MS Outlook) and will get the "save a file"-dialog - very annoying!

This bug affects all Ubuntu users using Evolution, is easy to fix - a real PAPER CUT :)

All Ubuntu Versions are affected including Karmic Alpha 5, Evolution 2.27.91

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue , in the default Ubuntu 9.10 install , that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of the project.

'should' is a wislist which is not a papercut

For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut

Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "invalid" ONLY in the papercuts project.

om26er, just because the bug contains the word "should" does not mean it is not a paper cut; furthermore, many wishlist items are paper cuts. If you don't believe me, take a look at /my/ wish list!
