+6. How do I assign different keyboard shortcuts?
+================================================
+
+ If you want to rebind a shortcut, Thunar supports the standard GTK+ way
+ of changing shortcuts: simply hover over the menu option with the mouse
+ pointer and press the keyboard shortcut you want to rebind it to.
+
+ To delete a keyboard assignment, press the Backspace key while you are
+ on the menu entry.
+
+ If the shortcut doesn't change, then you need to enable the feature in
+ GTK+. This can be achieved in 3 ways:
+
+ 1. If you are running Xfce 4.3 or above then you can enable "Editable
+ menu accelerators" in the "User Interface Preferences" dialog.
+ 2. If you are running GNOME then you can enable "Editable menu
+ accelerators" in the "Menu and Toolbars" control center dialog.
+ 3. Otherwise put the following in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file (create the
+ file if it doesn't exist):
+
+ gtk-can-change-accels=1
+
+
+7. Where does Thunar store the keyboard shortcuts?
+==================================================
+
+ The custom keyboard shortcuts are stored in the standard Gtk accel map
+ format in a file located at
+
+ $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/Thunar/accels.scm
+
+ Lines starting with ; are comments. See the GTK+ documentation for details
+ about the file format. If you are a packager or a system administrator and
+ want to provide a system-wide default for the keyboard shortcuts, that is
+ different from the default shortcuts in Thunar, you can create a file
+ Thunar/accels.scm in one of the $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS. For example, if /etc/xdg
+ is part of $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS (most likely for most Linux distributions), you
+ can install system-wide defaults to
+
+ /etc/xdg/Thunar/accels.scm
+
+ Thunar will then load shortcuts from this file on first startup.
