154
Enable the /desktop/gnome/interface/can_change_accels flag in gconf:
159
Press <keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>F2</key></keyseq>. The Run Application dialogue opens.
164
In the textbox, type 'gconf-editor'.
169
In the Configuration Editor select <guiseq><gui>desktop</gui><gui>gnome</gui><gui>interface</gui></guiseq>.
174
Check the value box for <gui>can_change_accels</gui> in the right side of the window.
179
You can add/change the shortcut as follows:
181
<list style = "auto">
184
Open <app>Evince Document Viewer</app>.
189
Hover the pointer over the menu item you want to change/create the shortcut for.
194
Enter the shortcut you want on the keyboard, e.g. <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>Shift</key><key>T</key></keyseq>.
199
Close <app>Evince Document Viewer</app>.
211
Uncheck the value box for <gui>can_change_accels</gui> in the right side of the window.
215
The next time Evince starts your custom shortcut key will be preserved.

Note that this also works for many other Gnome applications as well.
