That's only on Windows. Ze'ev said they're using macOS. The menu item is present on macOS and works as expected.

I just tested setting
   (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/gnc-plugin-ofx-actions/OfxImportAction" "<alt>i")
in ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/Gnucash/accelerator-map and restarting GnuCash. That also works as expected, bringing up the file chooser to select files to import. Ze'ev, did you restart GnuCash after editing accelerator-map?

Do note, though, that using <alt>-prefixed accelerators on macOS overrides the extended keyboard so having <alt>i as an accelerator means that you can't type circumflex-accented letters, e.g. ô, in GnuCash. You might prefer <ctrl><alt> or <meta><alt> to avoid that limitation. Meta is the command key; primary is the command key on macOS and the control key on Linux and Windows.

I also did a search on AQBanking, as that is where I do my manual import, and while many instances came up, none of them seemed to be connected to OFX files.
