If you move to the table cell where is says 'disabled' and press Return, the word 'disabled' should change to 'New Shortcut...' At that point, you should press (as opposed to type out) the shortcut combination you'd like to assign to your new command. > So either I'm dumb as a stick (not unlikely) or there is something > basic wrong with that tool. It seems to have some quirks (like adding duplicate entries for the items I just assigned. But I just ignored those and my new shortcuts are working fine.) > I want to be able to call the tools I work with (xterm and emacs for > the most part) from the keyboard 2 or three keys. > > How can I set my own keyboard shortcuts? Sounds like you're almost there. See above. > Where does the information I'm supposed to put into the shortcut tool go > to? What would a successful setting to call an xterm look like there? Column 1 Column 2 xterm Ctrl+Alt+X Hope this helps. Take care. --Joanie
