<p>In this episode, Tyler demonstrates how to assign your own keyboard shortcuts to menu bar commands that lack default shortcuts in macOS.</p><p>An example of where this may be useful is in System Settings, where many settings can be quickly accessed from the View menu; however, none of these commands have default keyboard shortcuts mapped to them. To create your own shortcut for a command:</p><ol><li>Open the app that contains the command, and note exactly how it's displayed in the menu bar; you'll need to enter this later.</li><li>Open System Settings > Keyboard, and click Keyboard shortcuts.</li><li>Select "Application shortcuts" in the table, and click Add.</li><li>Choose the app the shortcut will apply to from the "Application" popup menu. Note that you cannot map a shortcut that's already in use by that app.</li><li>Type the exact name of the command in the "Menu title" field. To enter an ellipsis (…) sign as part of the command, press Option-Colon.</li><li>In the "Shortcut" field, type the shortcut you want to assign to that command, and click Done to dismiss the dialog.</li><li>If the app containing the command you assigned a shortcut to is open, quit and reopen it for the change to take effect.</li></ol>
