159 <title>Create Your Own Custom Shortcuts</title>
163 Enable the /desktop/gnome/interface/can_change_accels flag in gconf:
168 Press <keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>F2</key></keyseq>. The Run Application dialogue opens.
173 In the textbox, type 'gconf-editor'.
178 In the Configuration Editor select <guiseq><gui>desktop</gui><gui>gnome</gui><gui>interface</gui></guiseq>.
183 Check the value box for <gui>can_change_accels</gui> in the right side of the window.
188 You can add/change the shortcut as follows:
190 <list style = "auto">
193 Open <app>Evince Document Viewer</app>.
198 Hover the pointer over the menu item you want to change/create the shortcut for.
203 Enter the shortcut you want on the keyboard, e.g. <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>Shift</key><key>T</key></keyseq>.
208 Close <app>Evince Document Viewer</app>.
220 Uncheck the value box for <gui>can_change_accels</gui> in the right side of the window.
224 The next time Evince starts your custom shortcut key will be preserved.
234 Note that this also works for many other Gnome applications as well.
