Create Your Own…Shortcuts?
I haven’t used this as much on my personal computer as I should, but on my work computer, I love creating my own shortcuts. It makes my life a lot easier.
Some program commands either don’t have shortcuts or have shortcuts involving a lot of keys and may be hard to remember. To solve this problem, just create your own shortcuts.
Go to System Preference… > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts. In the left-hand column, click Application Shortcuts. Then press the plus sign to Add an application shortcut.
You can create a shortcut for All Applications or select an application from the drop-down menu.
In the Menu Title box, enter the menu command. Note: Don’t type anything else except the actual command even if it is deep within a menu.
Then, in the Keyboard Shortcut box, type the shortcut you would like to use.
Make sure you don’t use a shortcut that is already being used otherwise it will interfere with the other shortcut. However, you can get around this conflict by assigning that particular shortcut a different shortcut.
