[GNC] defining key strokes

[Murugan Muruganandam]

David

the Directory is  /Users/<user id>/Library/Application Support/GnuCash  (C in Caps)
the accelerator map file is present there.  Possibly during the reinstall it got overwritten,  if you have a copy of your earlier accelerator map , place the file in the directory and restart.
i have cheked both in Mac and Windows, changes made in the file is reflecting in the application.

On the about link, i also get the same error message, possibly as Ken said it could be a hardcoded or missing quotes as the Application Support directory has a space in between, i will raise it in bugs for fixing.

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.
