-=== Where does Thunar store the keyboard shortcuts? === 
 The custom keyboard shortcuts are stored in the standard GTK+ accel map format in a file located at ''$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/Thunar/accels.scm''. Lines starting with ; are comments.

 If you are a packager or a system administrator and want to provide a system wide default for the keyboard shortcuts, that is different from the default shortcuts in Thunar, you can create a file ''Thunar/accels.scm'' in one of the ''$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS''. For example, if ''/etc/xdg'' is part of ''$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS'' (the default for most Linux distributions), you can install system wide defaults to ''/etc/xdg/Thunar/accels.scm''. Thunar will then load shortcuts from this file on first startup. If you are a packager or a system administrator and want to provide a system wide default for the keyboard shortcuts, that is different from the default shortcuts in Thunar, you can create a file ''Thunar/accels.scm'' in one of the ''$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS''.

 +Hint: If you add a new UserCustomAction with keyboard shortcut, it will show in ''accels.scm''. Like that you can check the naming used for every key/modifyer.
