## Menus

Below is a complete list of the menu selections in &kmymoney;, with a very brief description of what each one does.

### Settings and Help Menus

The Settings and Help menus of &kmymoney; are based on those described in &kde; Fundamentals with some additional items.

  Re-enables any messages you may have turned off by checking Don't tell me about this again in a dialog box.

Settings Configure Language...

  By default, the language used by &kmymoney; depends on the system wide settings for location or locale. This allows you to change that language, and to set a fallback language, which is used for text which has not been translated into the primary language.

&Ctrl;&Alt;, Settings Configure Keyboard Shortcuts...

  Allows you to add or modify keyboard shortcuts for various actions.

Settings Configure Aqbanking

  Configure online banking settings, but only if the KBanking module is enabled. More information may be found in the section on configuring the KBanking plugin as well as in the &gnucash; documentation.

  The process of setting up online access in AqBanking is described in the &gnucash; wiki (German only). This menu entry brings you to the dialog shown in step #3. The process until step #18 is the same for KMyMoney. Once done, you can map the account in &kmymoney; using Account Map account and select the account from the list provided. From there, simply use Account Update account, or in case you have more than one online account mapped Account Update all accounts.

  See How do I configure online banking for further details.

&Ctrl;&Alt;I Help Find Action...

  Displays the names and shortcuts of all actions in &kmymoney;. Clicking on one will invoke that action, if it is currently enabled.
