Geert, That I don’t know. As it happens I spent some time yesterday debugging https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796727 <https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796727>; I’ve gotten far enough to understand that gtksettings isn’t loading the default settings.ini in GnuCash.app/Contents/Resources/etc/gtk-3.0 (I think I need to add yet another line to environment setting XDG_CONFIG_PATH to include the bundle directories), but even after copying it to ~/Library/Application Support/Gnucash/config/gtk-3.0 it parses the line ‘gtk-key-theme-name = Emacs’ but doesn’t change the GSettings value from “Mac” which is set programmatically earlier in GSettings initialization.
