Hello, I am running Gnucash v2.6.6 on Mac OS Sierra.
This is in response to an earlier post clarifying how to setup keyboard access to frequently performed functions by Christopher Lam (see below). I couldn’t find a way to respond to that specific thread from my daily digest mail, hence this. I presume that post was about a windows fix. On my Mac, I found a similar file called osx_accel_map under /Applications/Gnucash/Contents/Resources/share/gnucash/ui. I edited the file (after making a backup of the original file) for the 2 lines mentioned in the earlier post, but instead of "<Primary>j" and "<Primary>l”, I changed it to “<Meta>j” and “<Meta>l” based on other such entries in the file. I restarted gnucash after these edits, but these accelerator keys don’t seem to work on an open register. I tried pressing both <CTRL> as well as <COMMAND> for the <Meta> key, but with no effect - nothing happens. Can you please let me know how I can set this up for a Mac?

Ah but there exists mechanism to add keyboard shortcuts.Edit your .gnucash/accelerator-map and maybe you'll find appropriate entry. I've added Ctrl-J for Jump as Ctrl-L for Split as follows: (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/JumpTransactionAction" "<Primary>j") (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/SplitTransactionAction" "<Primary>l”) <<< end post _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
