keyboard shortcuts (os x)
I haven't seen many people using the built-in Keyboard Shortcuts feature in OS X, maybe because there are so many full-featured third-party apps out there that do it better. Still, it's good for the quick and simple commands that Apple doesn't already have keymapped.
For example, I noticed in iTunes 7 that the main iTunes window no longer has a default keymapping, nor does the equalizer.
- Open System Preferences.
- Click on Keyboard & Mouse.
- Select the Keyboard Shortcuts tab.
- Scroll to the bottom and select "Application Keyboard Shortcuts".
- Click the plus button to add a new shortcut.
- Select your app and type the menu command you want to run.
- Close and re-open your app, if it was still running.
