Hi Anne,
One more thing to add to your excellent tip: I believe that when you add a
shortcut, the application for which you're adding the shortcut must not be
running in the background. I'm not 100 percent certain but I seem to
remember that from a couple of years ago. That might've changed but, for
what its worth, if anybody has any trouble, it might be something to keep in
mind.
Cheers.

Subject: Creating shortcuts
Hello everyone,
In an earlier post, I suggested creating a shortcut for Hang Up in Skype.
You can create a shortcut for any menu item which does not already have
one. Here is how to do it:
To set up a shortcut for a given application, open System Preferences,
Go to the Keyboard&Mouse pane,
Select Keyboard Shortcuts,
Click the Plus button to the right of the Outline,
A dialogue box will appear,
Click on All Applications,
Select the application for which you want to create a shortcut by
pressing Return,
You must type the exact title of the menu item as it appears in the
application,
Move to the Keyboard Shortcut field and enter the key combination you
wish to use,
Note that it does not check for conflicts with other commands you may
have created,
Click Add and you will be returned to the Keyboard Shortcuts tab and you
can add more if you want to.
Cheers,
Anne
