as technology becomes more accessible, power user features are lost.

Today's example: GTK custom shortcuts. Used to be you hover over a menu item, press a key, that key is assigned as a shortcut.
Not anymore, because apparently it's a "break my application, my
documentation, and the GtkMenu code" kind of feature.

Which, tbh, it probably is.
Also a very useful feature when you need it.

For the record, you can still change keyboard shortcuts by editing GTK-standard config files.

Not sure how to find them in general or if they even exist in general. But they live in ~/.config and you can go look for "gtk_accel_path" string.
