GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 758246
docs say user can use can_change_accels to change key bindings, but that does not work.

Reading what's current on: https://help.gnome.org/users/evince/stable/shortcuts.html.en says this: > Create your own custom shortcuts > Enable the /desktop/gnome/interface/can_change_accels flag in gconf: > Press Alt+F2. The Run Application dialogue opens. > In the textbox, type 'gconf-editor'. > In the Configuration Editor select desktop ▸ gnome ▸ interface. > Check the value box for can_change_accels in the right side of the window. > You can add/change the shortcut as follows: > Open the document viewer. > Hover the pointer over the menu item you want to change/create the shortcut for. > Enter the shortcut you want on the keyboard, e.g. Ctrl+Shift+T. > Close the document viewer. > Repeat steps 1-3. > Uncheck the value box for can_change_accels in the right side of the window. Even if I s/gconf-editor/dconf-editor/, this does not work. I'd really appreciate the instructions being updated to explain how to change key bindings in evince, as that's a feature I really like and am baffled as to how to do it, and following those doc instructions doesn't get it done. :)
I'd even change the bug title to: "Keyboard accelerators mess" +Nobody seems to care about it.
(In reply to Ildar from comment #1) > I'd even change the bug title to: "Keyboard accelerators mess" I would not, as bugs should be clear and specific. What you personally consider a "mess", a "bug", a "catastrophy" or a "feature" is irrelevant. > +Nobody seems to care about it. You seem to care and your investigation and patch is very welcome! :)
I set the keyword documentation, as can_change_accels was deprecated in gtk+ 3.10. It does not work anymore. We need to fix the documentation.
Removed in git commit 54f43719 for 3.26
