A quick way would be to do this: 1. Pick a key assignment line that is for a shortcut, not a Command key sequence, and copy it to the clipboard, then re-paste it, thus making a duplicate line in the file. Remember where in the file this line is located.
2. Change the left part of the new line, up to the equal sign, to the keystroke you want to create. 3. Find a line that assigns a Command key sequence to the thing you want to make a shortcut for, and copy or remember the part to the right of the equal sign. 4. Go back to your new line and replace what's to the right of the equal sign with the text that was there to the right of the equal sign on the Command key line you just looked at. I doubt there's a book on hand modifying jkm files, because it's not the sort of thing most people do, even though the file format is not complicated. It's basically a .ini file with a different file extension. I understand that I'm a programmer and you may not be, though, so please, if I call something simple, pardon me for any presumptuousness. :) I do hope those directions help you, in any case.
