Pidgin: Ctrl+Enter to send message on 2.0?

Hello all,

I am trying to use Gaim 2.0 and I noticed they disabled the ability to check "Ctrl + Enter sends message".

I read on the Gaim FAQ (http://gaim.sourceforge.net/faq2.php#q20) about editing your gtkrc file but I have tried editing everyone of them I can find and I cannot get this option turned on.

Any help would be appreciated!

Sorry to post again but this

Sorry to post again but this is really driving me nuts. I cannot use MSN with 1.5 and I have edited every single file with the name gtkrc in it with no success.

It should be

GaimPortable\App\GTK\etc\gtk-2.0\gtkrc
Unless you have a copy of GTK installed on your computer as well, in which case you must edit the installed copy as well.

Thanks for the reply - I

Thanks for the reply - I tried editing it to the following:

# ctrl-enter inserts a newline
bind "Return" { "insert-at-cursor" ("\n") }
# ctrl-s sends message
bind "s" { "message_send" () }
# shift-f1 toggles bold
bind "F1" { "format_function_toggle" (1) }
# alt-f2 toggles italic
bind "F2" { "format_function_toggle" (2) }
# Ctrl-alt-shift-f3 toggles underline
bind "F3" { "format_function_toggle" (4) }
# Ctrl-f1 resets the formatting
bind "F1" { "format_function_clear" () }
}

widget "*gaim_gtkconv_entry" binding "my-bindings"

and it isnt working. The default was:

# enter inserts a newline
bind "Return" { "insert-at-cursor" ("\n") }

Sorry to be such a pain. I do not know anything about Linux and how these commands work heh.

Have you tried

copying the example and using all of this:

#to let you edit your gaim key bindings
gtk-can-change-accels = 1
# In Gaim 2.0.0 and later, you can set custom keybindings in your theme.  Here
# is an example to follow
binding "my-bindings"
{
# enter inserts a newline
	bind "Return" { "insert-at-cursor" ("\n") }
# ctrl-s sends message
 	bind "s" { "message_send" () }
# shift-f1 toggles bold
	bind "F1" { "format_function_toggle" (1) }
# alt-f2 toggles italic
	bind "F2" { "format_function_toggle" (2) }
# Ctrl-alt-shift-f3 toggles underline
	bind "F3" { "format_function_toggle" (4) }
# Ctrl-f1 resets the formatting
	bind "F1" { "format_function_clear" () }
}  
widget "*gaim_gtkconv_entry" binding "my-bindings"

BTW, use <pre> not <code>
