[GNC] Lost Keyboard Accelerator feature

[Murugan Muruganandam]

added note this was installed as per 4.9 release notes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Change the handling of accelerator maps. Gtk no longer supports changing these from the menus and the save no longer writes out the accelerators that have their default values, so to assist users editing them we have generated default ones that we include with GnuCash and have disabled saving when quitting GnuCash. At startup GnuCash will check for the presence of the file accelerator-map in GNC_CONFIG_HOME<https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#GNC_CONFIG_HOME> and if it's not found will copy in the default one.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



So if you delete your existing accelerator-map file and restart Gnucash, it will copy the default one which you can modify

HI All,

I am experiencing this same problem as Michael with key actions for the
register display options on Windows. The file with the commented-out lines
is still present but seems to be ignored. The key accelerator for Double
line mode is still working though, but not the other 3 I had.

I am running on a recent nightly build of v5.1 (2023-04-30), which fixed the
online quotes problem for me, but the accelerator keys are still not
working.

I had reported this problem on the list in v5.0, but got no response.

Best Regards,
John Bonnett
