<title>Create your own custom shortcuts</title>
162
Enable the /desktop/gnome/interface/can_change_accels flag in gconf:
167
Press <keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>F2</key></keyseq>. The Run Application dialogue opens.
172
In the textbox, type 'gconf-editor'.
177
In the Configuration Editor select <guiseq><gui>desktop</gui><gui>gnome</gui><gui>interface</gui></guiseq>.
182
Check the value box for <gui>can_change_accels</gui> in the right side of the window.
187
You can add/change the shortcut as follows:
192
Open the <app>document viewer</app>.
197
Hover the pointer over the menu item you want to change/create the shortcut for.
202
Enter the shortcut you want on the keyboard, e.g. <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>Shift</key><key>T</key></keyseq>.
207
Close the <app>document viewer</app>.
219
Uncheck the value box for <gui>can_change_accels</gui> in the right side of the window.
223
The next time the <app>document viewer</app> launches, your custom shortcut key will be preserved.
233
Note that this also works for many other Gnome applications as well.
