<title>Custom shortcuts</title>
<p>To create your own application keyboard shortcut in the
<app>Keyboard</app> settings:</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Click the <gui style="button">+</gui> button. The <gui>Custom
Shortcut</gui> window will appear.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Type a <gui>Name</gui> to identify the shortcut, and a
<gui>Command</gui> to run an application, then click <gui>Add</gui>.
For example, if you wanted the shortcut to open <app>Rhythmbox</app>, you
could name it <input>Music</input> and use the <input>rhythmbox</input>
command.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Click <gui>Disabled</gui> in the row that was just added. When it
changes to <gui>New accelerator…</gui>, hold down the desired shortcut
key combination.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<p>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.</p>
<p>If you want to change the command that is associated with a custom
keyboard shortcut, double-click the <em>name</em> of the shortcut. The
<gui>Custom Shortcut</gui> window will appear, and you can edit the
command.</p>
