Keyboard Shortcuts

[AC]

The wiki page linked to earlier has instructions at the bottom for
editing the accelerator-map file.  There is a line in the file that reads:

; (gtk_accel_path
"<Actions>/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/SplitTransactionAction" "")

(ignore the word wrap, it's all on one line).

Close GNC, open the file, add your desired accelerator inside the last
set of quotation marks, remove the semicolon at the beginning of the
file and your new accelerator will be ready.  I just tested under
Windows and it works fine.  I edited mine to read:

 (gtk_accel_path
"<Actions>/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/SplitTransactionAction" "s")

Pressing 's' on the keyboard opens the split.

Mac OS does have a way to move the focus to the menu bar, but it is not very convenient (one key to move there, another to move to the particular menu, another to open the menu, another to move to the menu item, another to fire the selection). In addition, that mechanism is apparently not supported in GnuCash 2.6.3. I guess I'll get my keyboard shortcut when I get around to figuring out how to make custom shortcuts.

So, at least in Windows, it's not really a combination - it's two separate keystrokes (not necessary to hold down the Alt key for the second keystroke).
