[GNC] Accelerator Key for Jump button

[Michael Hendry]

A recent thread drew my attention to the Jump button, which I hadn’t previously used, and I realise I’ve been doing things the hard way!

I’m using version 3.5 on iMac macOS High Sierra 10.13.6, and have been trying in vain to set up Cmd-J as an accelerator key for Jump.

I found /Applications/Gnucash 3.5.App/Contents/Resources/share/gnucash/ui/osx_accel_map and altered the JumpTransactionAction as follows:

…
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/gnc-plugin-business-actions/EmployeeFindEmployeeOpenAction" "")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/JumpTransactionAction" "")
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/PasteTransactionAction" "<Control><Meta>v")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/gnc-plugin-business-actions/BusinessTestInitDataAction" “”)
…

…
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/gnc-plugin-business-actions/EmployeeFindEmployeeOpenAction" "")
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/JumpTransactionAction” “<Primary>j")
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/PasteTransactionAction" "<Control><Meta>v")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/gnc-plugin-business-actions/BusinessTestInitDataAction" “")
…

but this did not do what I hoped.

Professor Google hasn’t been able to provide a solution, so I thought it best to seek expert advice before I break something.
