Bug Description

Hi,

I've tried the process to "Create [my] own custom shortcuts" described here:
https://help.gnome.org/users/evince/stable/shortcuts.html.en
It does not work: evince does nothing when I hover the pointer over the menu item I want to change and click any key (BTW the shortcut text remains greyed-out, not sure if it's normal...).

I've also found on some other pages that I must use 'dconf-editor' instead of 'gconf-editor', but it does not work either.

FYI, I'm using, Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS, but with AwsomeWM, and almost all gnome packages installed

Cheers

GM

Since I'm refering to the latest stable version of Gnome's documentation:
https://help.gnome.org/users/evince/stable/shortcuts.html.en
wich is, by the way, the documentation that I'm redirected to when I
go to "Help -> Help -> Keyboard Shortcuts" in Evince itself, I don't
see how this can be outdated...

Can you please redirect me to the supposed-to-be more valid & current
documentation? (and correct the redirection in Evince's "Help->Help"
menu...)

This bug is still active in ubuntu 16.04.

The same holds for GM's comment on Gnome documentation.

I really wish all this can be fixed and customizing shortcuts in evince will be as simple as any other viewer (eg, okular).
