MailMate adds CMD-I shortcut to browsers as "email link", no way to disable

Reported by John Y | May 22nd, 2024 @ 12:37 PM

When I press CMD-I while looking at a website in Vivaldi, MailMate opens a new email offering to email the link. This appears through an Email Link option under File > Share.

I don't want this behaviour — however, I cannot disable it. (More specifically, I'm fine with it being in the menu, but I do not want a keyboard shortcut on it. Especially not CMD-I, which triggers when I'm using a page with a content editor that doesn't implement standard shortcuts for the Italic button!)

If I click File > Share > More… I get taken to System Settings where it does not allow me to edit the keyboard shortcut or disable the share item.

Suggested fixes:

Add a way of disabling this share item completely
Add a way of customising the keyboard shortcut (including removing it completely, not just assigning it to something else!)
Remove the keyboard shortcut completely and leave it so the item is accessed by clicking on the menu item only

I don't think this is a MailMate specific issue. If you switch to Apple Mail as default email client then you'll have the same problem. You might be able to explicitly create a menu item with the same title in system settings and then give it a different shortcut, but I wasn't able to make that work.

I think this is something which has changed with a macOS release and I might be missing how it can be configured. Let me know if you figure something out.

...

If not, I think I could at least provide a hidden setting for MailMate to simply not support these menu items.
