can you try savling and closing accelerato map after making the amendment Start Gnucash and see if it works accelerator map file is only written during install and not every start of Gnucash Saludos Cordiales Murugan ________________________________ From: gnucash-user <gnucash-user-bounces+m.muruganandam=hotmail....@gnucash.org> on behalf of George Riner <georgeri...@mycogeo.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2023 3:50 PM To: Gnucash Users <gnucash-user@gnucash.org> Subject: Re: [GNC] keyboard shortcut - how to implement for open/close splits? Stan, Thanks for your understanding. I edited the following line in accelerator-map ; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/SplitTransactionAction" "") to read (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/SplitTransactionAction" "<ctrl><alt>s") and then restarted GnuCash. outcome: I go to a transaction in the register that has "-- Split Transaction --" showing, press <ctrl><alt>s and nothing happens. I also notice, as you report, that the accelerator-map file has been re-written with my edits removed. Odd, kinda, that a file that you'd think GnuCash would *read* to get configurations for things, is instead *written* to remove all accelerator-mapping. :George On 9/12/2023 11:32 AM, Stan Brown (using GC 4.14) wrote: > On 2023-09-12 10:42, Michael Hendry wrote: >> On 12 Sep 2023, at 18:17, George Riner <georgeri...@mycogeo.com> wrote: >>> I really wish there was a keyboard shortcut to open/close the Splits on the >>> transaction I'm in. >> 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. > 1.
