Hi, George.

Have a look here:

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Keyboard_Shortcuts

I use a Mac, so the file I’ve edited is 
~/Library/Application Settings/Gnucash/acclerator-map;

and the necessary lines are:

(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/ViewStyleRadioAction/0" "<Primary>1")
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/ViewStyleRadioAction/1" "<Primary>2")
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/ViewStyleRadioAction/2" "<Primary>3")

which opens the Basic Ledger view with Cmd-1, AutoSplit Ledger with Cmd-2 and Transaction Journal with Cmd-3.

I think this should be enough to get you started.

Regards,

Michael
