-After its first use, Mousepad will generate the file ''~/.config/Mousepad/accels.scm'', containing the list of configurable keybindings. To customize a keybinding, uncomment the corresponding line by removing the semicolon at the beginning, then change the shortcut at the end of the line, without touching the rest.+After its first use, Mousepad will generate the file ''~/.config/Mousepad/accels.scm'', containing the list of configurable keybindings. This file is overwritten by Mousepad at the end of each session, so to customize a keybinding you have to: 
 +  * quit Mousepad; 
 +  * open this file with a different text editor; 
 +  * uncomment the line corresponding to the shortcut you want to customize by removing the semicolon at the beginning; 
 +  * change the shortcut at the end of the line, without touching the rest. 
 + 
 +As of version 0.5.9, Mousepad has a shortcuts editor that can be accessed from the "Edit" menu or the preferences dialog, "Plugins" tab. However, it requires Libxfce4ui 4.17.5 to work, which is a development version. It is therefore likely that until Xfce 4.18 is released, this plugin will not be available in the versions of Mousepad packaged by your distribution.

 +===== Theming ===== 
 + 
 +As of version 0.5.9, Mousepad has a CSS style class "mousepad" to ease theming, which is used for example in this way: 
 + 
 +    .mousepad { color: red; } 
 + 
 +It is also possible to mitigate some bugs by this way, like scrollbar grabbing when Mousepad is maximized (see https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/mousepad/-/issues/34): 
 + 
 +    .mousepad.maximized > box > notebook > stack, 
 +    .mousepad.maximized > box > notebook > stack > scrolledwindow { 
 +      border-left: 0; 
 +      border-right: 0; 
 +    }
