The purpose of this page is to collect GTK configuration settings which can e.g. be used within ~/.gtkrc-2.0.

Enabling Customizable Keyboard Shortcuts

You can customize your GTK applications' keyboard shortcuts (those are called accelerators in GTK terminology) by hovering your mouse over a menu item and pressing your desired key combination. However, this feature is disabled by default. To enable it, set

gtk-can-change-accels = 1

Speed up your Gnome menu

This setting controls the delay between you pointing the mouse at a menu and that menu opening in Gnome. Change this to a setting you prefer. I guess the number is in milliseconds, eg 250 being a quarter of a second.

gtk-menu-popup-delay = 0
