Keyboard shortcuts
Menu/All applications/Preferences/keyboard shortcuts
Click the add button
Give the keyboard shortcut a name
Provide the path (or command and path)
Examples:
Open a program
“/home/tech/Desktop/pdfx-editor-port/PDFXEdit.exe”
which is a shortcut to a portable windows app.
I had set the PDFXEdit.exe file to open with “Wine Windows Program Loader” as default
Right-click PDFXEdit.exe, select “open with”, select “Wine Windows Program Loader”, check “remember this application”
Open a document
Click on the line where it says “New shortcut” or “disabled”, or where it already gives a shortcut combination
If you click on the name of the shortcut you can edit the name and command.
Click on the line section for shortcut until you get “New shortcut”
Press the keyboard combination you want to use
There will be no warning if you choose and existing shortcut (say CTRL-C) so be careful and wise
