In Gtk parlance they are called 'accelerators' or 'accels' so you may
have better luck searching on that.

As far as can see they are listed in .config/evolution/accels - but
that is, presumably, just a list of the defaults.  I don't know if
edits to that file make any difference or if there is a better way of
editing accelerators.

There is also a dconf key called 'can-change-accels' - that will
presumably have to be enabled as well.

**DISCLAIMER** poking around and changing dconf keys and config files
may make your installation unusable.  You do so at your own risk - it
is NOT my fault if you break something.

If you change the config files, I suspect they will be overwritten next
time Evolution is updated.

If you aren't using Gnome, then everything I have said may be a lie.
