182 <P STYLE="text-decoration: none">The keyboard shortcuts associated
183 with the menu bar items can be changed by editing the accels file
184 located in the GQview configuration folder <B>while the GQview
185 application is not running</B>:</P>
186 <P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><CODE><SPAN STYLE="text-decoration: none">($HOME)/.gqview/accels</SPAN></CODE></P>
187 <P><SPAN STYLE="text-decoration: none">To change a menu item, first
188 find the line corresponding to the menu item</SPAN> to change. For
189 example the File menu Quit line originally looks like this:</P>
190 <P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><CODE><SPAN STYLE="text-decoration: none">;
191 (gtk_accel_path &quot;&lt;main&gt;/File/Quit&quot; &quot;&lt;Control&gt;q&quot;)</SPAN></CODE></P>
192 <P STYLE="text-decoration: none">To change this menu's keyboard
193 shortcut, first remove the leading semicolon (;), removing the
194 semicolon will tell GQview that this menu item has been customized.
195 Then change the keyboard shortcut defined by the text in quotes at
196 the end of the line, be sure to only change the text within the
197 quotes; in this case the text &ldquo;&lt;control&gt;q&rdquo;. For
198 example changing the shortcut associated with Quit to the Q key will
199 result in this line:</P>
200 <P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><CODE><SPAN STYLE="text-decoration: none">(gtk_accel_path
201 &quot;&lt;main&gt;/File/Quit&quot; &quot;q&quot;)</SPAN></CODE></P>
202 <P STYLE="text-decoration: none">Please note the removed semicolon
203 and the change of &ldquo;&lt;control&gt;q&rdquo; to &ldquo;q&rdquo;,
204 be careful not to change any of the other text on the line or GQview
205 may ignore the customization. The keyboard modifiers and their
206 respective text are listed below:</P>
