EditShortcuts - gedit plugin

This simple gedit-plugin enables you to customize short cuts for all menu-items! This plugin provides a simple (but not easy) dialogue which let you assign short cuts for all menu-items also if they are defined by plugins.

Currently this plugin is quiet like a prove of concept because it let you assign short cuts to action-names defined in code. This may be good for very advanced users but to complicated for normal users. This may be a feature for advanced users which can assign short-cuts to actions not present in menu.

Issues

• Unable to set accelerators for gtksourceview. Therefore some short cuts used by sourceview won't work and are not detectable as in use!
• The dialogue uses the action-names defined by code instead of (translated) menu-names. This is confusing for non-programmers!

Get, install and use

Simply download (editshortcuts-plugin-0.9.1.tar.bz2) the plugin an untar the archive. Put the editshortcut.gedit-plugin file and the whole editshortcut directory into ~/gnome2/gedit/plugins. Restart gedit. You will find a menu-item labelled Edit Shortcuts under your Tools menu.

The dialogue provides a tree-view of all actions defined by gedit. You can assign a short cut by double-clicking on the action-name.
