You can use TextEdit, just be sure to tell it to save the result as plain text. It's a Scheme file, so a ';' starts a comment. Notice that most lines have an empty string (" ") at the end; that's where the accelerator code goes. <Primary> means "Command" on Macs and "Control" everywhere else. Otherwise, <Shift> means shift, <Ctrl> means control, <Alt> means alt/option, and <Meta> means command. You can combine them; if you want to use shift-command-x for an accelerator, put <Shift><Meta>x in the accelerator field of the menu action you want to accelerate and remove the ';' from the beginning of the line.
