In the Xaw build of XBoard you can add or remove shortcut keys using the X resources paneA.translations. Here is an example of what could go into your .Xdefaults file:

     XBoard*paneA.translations: \
       Shift<Key>?: MenuItem(Help.About) \n\
       Ctrl<Key>y: MenuItem(Action.Accept) \n\
       Ctrl<Key>n: MenuItem(Action.Decline) \n\
       Ctrl<Key>i: MenuItem(Nothing)

So the key should always be bound to the action 'MenuItem', with the (hierarchical) name of the menu item as argument. There are a few actions available for which no menu item exists: Binding a key to Nothing makes it do nothing, thus removing it as a shortcut key. Other such functions that can be bound to keys are:

     AboutGame, DebugProc (switches the -debug option on or off),
     LoadNextGame, LoadPrevGame, ReloadGame, ReloadPosition.
