spmug 512 Creating Your Own Keyboard Shortcuts One thing in OS X that doesn't get enough press, but kicks butt in the productivity department, is that you can now create your own custom keyboard shortcuts. Here's how: Go under the Apple menu to System Preferences, then click on the Keyboard & Mouse icon. In the pane that appears, click on the "Keyboard Shortcuts" button. Then click the + (plus) sign button at the bottom of the list of existing shortcuts to add your own. The pop-up menu at the top of the dialog that opens lets you choose whether this shortcut works across all applications, or in just an individual app (or just the Finder if you like). In the "Menu Title" field, enter the EXACT name of the menu item you want a shortcut for, then type in the shortcut you want to use and click "Add." It is that easy. Note: Make sure that the application you are creating your own shortcut for is not open. TMUG Insider, Pleasanton, CA
