Custom Keyboard Shortcuts For Mac You Should Know

If you are using a Mac, you must be knowing about the keyboard shortcuts. But since there are so many people that often get confused. Creating the same type of shortcuts can be a bit problematic at times.

From the List, select Keyboard, then click on Shortcuts. A list of locations and services can be seen so as to see the shortcuts. Uncheck and disable the ones you do not want to use.

Editing All The Current Keyboard Shortcuts: There are certain global shortcuts which already exists but you will have to edit them. You can even see a shortcut which is not in use. Mark the checkbox then enable the shortcut. Click CMD+ option+ Space. It might show an error even probably with the combination that is shown. Go to the Spotlight section and double click the key combination and then add a new one.

Custom Keyboard Shortcuts To Be Created: For that go to the Preference Window and click on App Shortcuts. Then click on the plus sign button and add a shortcut to it. Then click on the Application drop-down list and in the Menu Title, enter a name and add a keyboard shortcut.

What To Remember For Creating Shortcuts: The shortcut should definitely have the same name as the menu command. Even if it adds ellipses, you should add it. Go to the submenu, use Hyphen plus Greater Than. Give no spaces between them. Do not use a key shortcut with the one that already exists. If it does not work, change the combination if required.
