The dialog box opens when you select an action and click the Add Keyboard Shortcut button. Use this dialog box to bind the selected action with a new keyboard shortcut, which may consist of one or two keystrokes. The resulting keyboard shortcut is marked with the keyboard_shortcut icon in the Shortcuts list.

Use your mouse pointer to click buttons in the dialog box. Any key stroke is interpreted as a shortcut!

Shortcut PreviewIn this read-only field, view the newly defined shortcuts.
Conflicts This read-only field shows messages about conflicts that arise if a suggested keystroke is already in use.

You can ignore a conflict and assign a shortcut to several actions. However it is strongly recommended that you avoid binding two actions with the same shortcut, because the priority of these actions is not defined.
