Re: [Gwc-general] Question about shortcut keys

I'll repost this informative email from Stewart Evens, describing how to 
bind your own special keys to any menu function:

I mentioned a while ago that the old Gnome style of changing menu  
accelerators wasn't working in 0.20.  After some hunting, I've figured  
out how to fix it.

First - version 2.0 of GTK has this option turned off by default.  Its  
doc says to add the line "gtk_can_change_accels = 1" to your
~/.gtkrc-2.0 file.  Simple, right?

But wait!  Gnome 2 doesn't pay attention to that file, apparently  
because of its ludicrous "gconf" scheme.  So I had to run gconf-editor  
(which, on my RedHat system, can be found in the oh-so-intuitive menu  
location System Tools -> More System Tools -> Configuration Editor).  
Running it warns me that this is not the preferred way of setting my  
desktop, but since there's no indication of what *is* the preferred  
way, I went ahead anyway.

Anyway, now I only had to navigate down to "desktop -> gnome ->  
interface" and scroll down until I found the "can_change_accels" item.

IMHO, the Gnome2 developers deserve congratulations for approaching  
Microsoft's level of user hostility and disregard for backwards  
compatibility.  But I digress...anyway, the above worked for me.   
Unfortunately F1 does not seem to be allowed as an accelerator (other  
fkeys are okay) so I will have to get used to a new key binding.
