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