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 “<control>q”. 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 "<main>/File/Quit" "q")</SPAN></CODE></P> <P STYLE="text-decoration: none">Please note the removed semicolon and the change of “<control>q” to “q”, be careful not to change any of the other text on the line or GQview may ignore the customization.
