Custom shortcuts

To create your own application keyboard shortcut in the Keyboard settings:

Select Custom Shortcuts.
Click the Add Shortcut button if no custom shortcut is set yet. Otherwise click the + button. The Add Custom Shortcut window will appear.
Type a Name to identify the shortcut, and a Command to run an application. For example, if you wanted the shortcut to open Rhythmbox, you could name it Music and use the rhythmbox command.
Click the Add Shortcut… button. In the Add Custom Shortcut window, hold down the desired shortcut key combination.
Click Add.

The command name that you type should be a valid system command. You can check that the command works by opening a Terminal and typing it in there. The command that opens an application cannot have the same name as the application itself.

If you want to change the command that is associated with a custom keyboard shortcut, click the row of the shortcut. The Set Custom Shortcut window will appear, and you can edit the command.
