After you enabled &quot;Dynamic Keyboard Shortcuts&quot; in the Preferences dialog, you can reassign shortcut keys. Do so by bringing up the menu, selecting a menu item, and pressing the desired key combination. If &quot;Save Keyboard Shortcuts&quot; is enabled, the key bindings are saved when you exit GIMP. You should probably disable &quot;Dynamic Keyboard Shortcuts&quot; afterwards, to prevent accidentally assigning/reassigning shortcuts.
