1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Settings, click Keyboard in the sidebar (you may need to scroll down), then click Keyboard Shortcuts.

2. Select App Shortcuts on the left, click the Add button, click the Application pop-up menu, then choose a specific app or All Applications.

   For example, to set a shortcut for a TextEdit command, choose TextEdit. If an app isn’t in the list, choose Other, then locate the app using the Open dialogue. Some apps may not allow you to set keyboard shortcuts.

   If you want to set a shortcut for a menu command that appears in many apps, choose All Applications.

3. In the “Menu title” field, type the menu command for which you want to create a shortcut, exactly as the command appears in the app, including the > character (type ->), ellipses (type three full stops without spaces) or other punctuation.

   For example, to set a shortcut for the default ligature command in TextEdit (Format > Font > Ligatures > Use Default), type Format->Font->Ligatures->Use Default in the “Menu title” field. To set a shortcut for the Export as PDF command (File > Export as PDF…), type File->Export as PDF… in the field.

4. Click in the “Keyboard shortcut” field, press the key combination you want to use as the keyboard shortcut, then click Done.

   For example, press the Control, Option and Z keys at the same time. You can use a key only once in a key combination.
