How to do it¶
Edit¶
Assign a keyboard shortcut to a program¶
- Access the Shortcut Properties

This will assign a keyboard shortcut with Ctrl + Alt
as base, following by the key you pressed.

Few programs need to be inside the Start Menu before to be accessible by a keyboard shortcut.
Warning
If you encounter the WinError06 when you are trying to build a C++ project this is because you renamed and/or your added a keyboard shortcut to your Sublime Text 3 shortcut.
This issue happens on the Sublime Text 3 portable version. Not sure if with the installer it does the same.
This issue is a bit annoying and I didn’t find a solution yet.
If someone find a solution to this issue and see this S.O.S. please send me and email at :
Tip
You don’t need to add keyboard shortcut to every single program. If you plan to be a developer for example just add a quick access to your terminal, your text editor, your web browser and your media player because sometimes it saves your life.
