I have Epiphany 2.22.0 on Gnome Desktop/Mandriva 2008.1

For some strange reason on Epiphany's File>New Tab the shortcut has

Any advise on how to reset/change this.

If you have the option on to allow changes, you can just open the menu
and, with the item selected, type the key combination you want to bind
to that menu item. This is possibly how it got to be j in the first
place -- it can be very easy to do without noticing.

I've looked around the Preference menu, but I can't find anything that
will allow me to change it.

No, I think this has been removed as a simple user setting. You get
set is using gconf-editor (start this up -- you'll need to run it from
a terminal of from something like Alt+F2). You navigate to the wight
place a click to set the item. That is harder to explain than to give
you the command:

Wow! Way more typos and garbage than even I usually manage. Pretend

You navigate to the right place (see below) and click a check-box to
set the item. All that is harder to desribe than to give you the
command-line equivalent:

gconftool --type bool --set /desktop/gnome/interface/can_change_accels true

which you can cut and paste. You can test the setting with:

gconftool --get /desktop/gnome/interface/can_change_accels

The thing that looks like a path name is the key you need to navigate
to is you use the graphical gconf-editor.

If I knew how to install the help files I'd look this up rather than waste
your precious time.

There is no need to worry about that. People answer if they have time.
If they don't they won't. Reading the documentation is good, but
there is a lot of it and it is not always obvious were to look.
