There is no easy way I know of to make 'n' an accelerator and have it 
passed to an entry as well. You will probably have to add a modifier 
like "<Alt>" to fix the problem.

There may be some way to remove your entry field from the application's 
accelerator group, understanding that none of the application's 
accelerators will then work in the entry field.
