[GNC] defining key strokes

I'm still running 4.13 on MacOS, haven't updated yet. I, too notice when 
I check the "About" settings, I see GnuCash in the directory 
specifications, but the actual directory on the file system ends with 
"Gnucash", in other words, no "GnuCash". I don't really use key 
mappings, but do have extensive GTK formatting applied to the interface 
and it is working just fine. This though, as you stated, on a Unix based 
system like MacOS, GnuCash is not equal to Gnucash. Unlike windows based 
systems.

I guess I have a couple of ideas:

(1) maybe try creating a directory in the Application Data directory 
that is spelled Gnucash, copy the keymapping file in there and see if 
things work.

(2) Maybe the stuff being displayed in the About window is not actually 
pertinent? Not likely, but maybe? When I click on the GNC_USERCONFIG_DIR 
in the About, which the interface says is user modifiable, I get the 
error message you indicated:"GnuCash could not find the linked 
document", This leads me to believe the stuff in the About display is 
maybe hardcoded, incorrectly, and isn't representative of the actual 
path used by the program. This is just me guessing based upon what's 
happening, hopefully someone with more intimate knowledge of the 
program's operation will clear things up.
