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.

Thanks, Murugan.

I’d already found this in the release notes, but after I’d deleted the file and restarted I couldn’t find the Cmd-1 etc key definitions in the commented-out section of the newly-created accelerator-map file. Once I’d copied them in from your earlier email, these are now working.

I’m still looking for Cmd-j, and for an idiot’s guide to the construction of new entries in accelerator-map.

Regards,

Michael
