Stan, Thanks for your understanding.
I edited the following line in accelerator-map
; (gtk_accel_path
"<Actions>/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/SplitTransactionAction" "")
to read
(gtk_accel_path
"<Actions>/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/SplitTransactionAction"
"<ctrl><alt>s")
and then restarted GnuCash.
outcome: I go to a transaction in the register that has "-- Split
Transaction --" showing, press <ctrl><alt>s and nothing happens. I also
notice, as you report, that the accelerator-map file has been re-written
with my edits removed. Odd, kinda, that a file that you'd think GnuCash
would *read* to get configurations for things, is instead *written* to
remove all accelerator-mapping.

I really wish there was a keyboard shortcut to open/close the Splits on the
transaction I'm in.

I use a Mac, so the file I’ve edited is
~/Library/Application Settings/Gnucash/acclerator-map;
and the necessary lines are:
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/ViewStyleRadioAction/0"
"<Primary>1")
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/ViewStyleRadioAction/1"
"<Primary>2")
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/ViewStyleRadioAction/2"
"<Primary>3")
which opens the Basic Ledger view with Cmd-1, AutoSplit Ledger with Cmd-2 and
Transaction Journal with Cmd-3.
1. I think those are to change the view of the entire register. If I
understood George's query correctly, the was asking for a key to
effectively press the Split button and show the splits for the current
transaction. In any case, I'd very much like to know how to do that.
2. Where do we find the list of items to go in the first set of double
quotes? Neither <https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Keyboard_Shortcuts> nor
the two files it references have that information.
3. The lines you gave don't seem top do anything in my accelerator file
(which I've attached). Here are details.
I'm in Windows 10, with GC 4.14. I found the accelerator-map file in
%APPDATA%\GnuCash, and, while GC was not running, added your three lines
at the bottom. However, they don't seem to have any effect. I know that
for Windows users <Primary> means the Ctrl key, because <Primary>o is
bound to File Open, and when I try Ctrl+o the File Open dialog does
indeed pop up. But Ctrl+0, Ctrl+1, and Ctrl+2 don't seem to do anything.
Even worse, when GC closes it rewrites the accelerator-map file
_without_ those four lines I added.
Do user-configured accelerator keys just not work in Windows, or am I
doing something wrong?
