Hello Thunar community,

I use a bepo keyboard layout and my mouse is on the left side of the keyboard. As you can imagine, I don't really like hitting Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V to copy/paste files :) (my letter C is where H normally is, and V is in U's place)

I'd like to be able to use the standard* shortcuts Ctrl+Ins to Copy, Shift+Ins to Paste.

* The standard I'm referring to is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Common_User_Access, not necessarily a standard that Xfce should follow, but there's sound stuff in there, like keyboard-layout-agnostic shortcuts for example :)

I know that this standard also says that Cut should be accessed through Shift+Del, which conflicts with the normal shortcut for deleting files without putting them in the bin. Looking elsewhere, we can see that for instance in Windows Explorer, Microsoft chose to offer Ctrl+Ins, Shift+Ins to copy/paste, but Shift+Del still deletes files directly.

Hold the mouse over the menu items and press you custom keycombo. Enable editable menu accelerators in the appearance settings of your desktop.
