-====Editable Menu Accelerators==== 
- 
-A number of Xfce applications (Xfce Terminal and Thunar for example) support 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 {key>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: 
- 
-  * You can enable {gui>Editable menu accelerators} in the **[[:xfce:xfce4-settings:appearance#menu_and_buttons|User Interface Preferences]]** dialog. 
-  * If you are running GNOME then you can enable {gui>Editable menu accelerators} in the {gui>Menu and Toolbars} control center dialog. 
-  * Otherwise put the following in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file (create the file if it doesn't exist):\\ ''gtk-can-change-accels=1'' 
- 
-<note tip>In the case of Xfce4-terminal, you have to open 9 tabs to edit all the Alt+N entries.</note>
