I have Epiphany 2.22.0 on Gnome Desktop/Mandriva 2008.1

For some strange reason on Epiphany's File>New Tab the shortcut has
changed to 'J' instead of the usual CTRL+T

Any advise on how to reset/change this.

I've googled for answer, but too many irrelevant hits. Also I have no help
files in the Epiphany too. Looked for them in my various repositories, but
obviously am using the wrong keywords here. Couldn't find help
documentation on the Epiphany homepage either.

Thanks

Josef

If you have the option on to allow changes, you can just open the menu
and, with the item selected, type the key combination you want to
bind to that menu item. This is possibly how it got to be j in the
first place -- it can be very easy to do without noticing.

Hi Ben

I've looked around the Preference menu, but I can't find anything that
will allow me to change it.

If I knew how to install the help files I'd look this up rather than waste
your precious time.

If i type on the commandline

[josef(a)localhost ~]$ epiphany -n bt.com (The -n switch is for a new tab)

it opens a new tab in the browser no problem, so I must have messed up in
the GUI somewhere.

No, I think this has been removed as a simple user setting. You get
set is using gconf-editor (start this up -- you'll need to run it from
a terminal of from something like Alt+F2). You navigate to the wight
place a click to set the item. That is harder to explain than to give
you the command:

gconftool --type bool --set /desktop/gnome/interface/can_change_accels true

which you can cut and paste. You can test the setting with:

gconftool --get /desktop/gnome/interface/can_change_accels

The thing that looks like a path name is the key you need to navigate
to is you use the graphical gconf-editor.

There is no need to worry about that. People answer if they have time.
If they don't they won't. Reading the documentation is good, but
there is a lot of it and it is not always obvious were to look.
