Here it is:
To create a shortcut:
1. Create a new folder by clicking on the New Folder button.
2. Enter a folder name, e.g. “MyShortcuts” and check the “Make this a top-level folder” check box:
3. Click the “New Keyboard Shortcut” button.
4. Enter a key for this shortcut into the “Key 1” text box (and into the “Key 2” text box if necessary).
5. Select an action from the Command combo box, e.g. “MyAction”.
6. Click OK to save your settings.
The shortcut has been created. Now the MyAction will be executed after pressing the shortcut key (CTRL+ALT+1 in this example).
