Hotkey issue

What I want to do is assign 'P' as the path tool, but no matter what I do, GIMP still has 'B' as its hotkey. I've gone to preferences and tried defining them there, and even keyboard shortcuts, but nothing works. It still has 'B' as the shortcut.

I'll attach an image showing this. But you can see I have it assigned as 'P', but it's not applying whatever key I insert.

Any help would be awesome.

Edit: Just to add; I'm using GIMP 2.8.22

You are knocking on the wrong door. What you are setting is the Path tool menu entry on the right-click menu in the Paths list. What you want tp set is the general tools shortcut which is elsewhere (tools-vector at the bottom of the Tools tree):
