13:37:15 <larrywk> Hello
13:38:06 <larrywk> Looking to do some development on GnuCash
13:38:26 <warlord> Hi larrywk . Welcome.
13:38:32 <warlord> What did you have in mind?
13:38:58 <larrywk> Is there a recommended Linux distro to use, starting from a laptop that has Windows 10 that I want to overwrite
13:40:37 <warlord> No, you can use whatever you are comfortable using. Fedora. Ubuntu. Arch. Whatever you'd like. You can develop on any of them.
13:40:47 <larrywk> I was wanting to add some keyboard shortcuts to the import dialog. Have used TCL/TK Python before, new to GTK so it will take me some time to come up to speed
13:41:16 <larrywk> Mint as supported by JMU where my son was a computer science major
13:41:19 <warlord> Adding shortcuts is relatively easy, I think..
13:42:02 <warlord> If gnucash 5.x already exists on the platform then it should be easy to develop on that platform.
13:43:01 <larrywk> So they is an event handler so when you press the first letter of a Category, if the window would scroll so that all of the categories that start with that letter are visible in the window so that you do not need to scroll to select the one that you want
13:44:23 <larrywk> I have been running GnuCash on Windows 11, but don't want to load all of the development stuff on my Windows machine, and it looks like importing the required libraries etc. is easier on Linux
13:45:29 <larrywk> You have answered my question, so thank you, I will chime in again when I get stuck
13:45:32 <warlord> It is indeed

16:28:56 <jralls> larrywk, Have a look at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GTK3#Key_Bindings and https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Keyboard_Shortcuts. Don't worry about the warning in the latter about it being for Gtk2. What differences there are (mostly the css stuff) is explained in the first.
16:29:08 <jralls> You might not need any code changes at all.
16:35:03 <jralls> larrywk, but you said "categories". GnuCash doesn't have those. If you mean that in the Quicken sense then please read https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v5/C/gnucash-guide/chapter_basics.html.
17:13:26 <larrywk> Thanks I will check out those links
