Assigning Shortcut

• Click on the Edit Keyboard Shortcuts button, select a Rundown Item

• Click on a three-button combination on your keyboard that contains two of the ⌃ CTRL, ⌥ ALT, and ⇧ SHIFT buttons and one other character. (Example ⌃ CTRL + ⌥ ALT + ⇧ SHIFT + K)

Various special characters and keyboard shortcuts may not work in your case. To set an example, if you try to assign ⌃ CTRL + ⇧ SHIFT + N button combination will fail because the keyboard combination is already assigned to the New Incognito Window shortcut of the browser.
