No, as I wrote before, I didn't get right the syntax of menurc file the first time (since it is not documented anywhere, thought that leading semicolon was a part of syntax). >> So the accel loading/saving was correct, it would just need an entry in >> FAQ about editing the menurc file (the syntax and an example).

Let's do it this way: since you're the maintainer of the FAQ, I'd suggest you'd replace the answer to "1.2.4. How can I set or change an accelerator key for a function in the menu?" with the following: --- This is possible, however it may not be the most user-friendly way. Find the file ".dia/menurc" in your home directory (that would be "C:\Documents and Settings\yourlogin\.dia\menurc" on Windows or "/home/yourlogin/.dia/menurc" on *nix systems like Linux). Open the file with a text editor (e.g. notepad in Windows or gedit in Linux). Find a line that contains the accelerator (shortcut) you wish to change, e.g. if you want to change the "Delete" key for Edit/Delete, this would be the line: ; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/display-actions/EditDelete" "Delete") Let's say you want to change it to Control+Delete, so change the line to: (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/display-actions/EditDelete" "<Control>Delete") Notice that you have to delete the leading semicolon. The modifier keys (Ctrl, Alt, Shift) are written as <Control>, <Alt>, <Shift> and can be combined, e.g. "<Control><Shift>d" is a valid accelerator for Ctrl+Shift+d. Special keys such as Return, Insert, Delete are written as Return, Insert, Delete. Save the file then. Note that Dia may not be running while you edit this file. --- Just a few notes: 1) it might be better to instruct Windows users to use Start->Run, write "notepad %USERPROFILE%\.dia\menurc", since the homedir does not always have to be at the mentioned location 2) there should be a mention which is the least version of dia that supports this, I noticed someone mentioning that 0.94 did not support this 3) Mark Dexter wrote about sending updated docs, which have not yet been incorporated (including the shortcut changing); the accel question comes up often on the mailing list, so it would be a really good idea to put this into FAQ Regards O.
