Do any of the following:

If the key combination is already assigned to a command, and you want to reassign the key
combination, click Reassign in the alert that appears.

If you are using the default command set, click Make Copy in the alert that appears, then enter
a name for the new command set and click OK

The new keyboard shortcut is added to the new command set and appears in the Key column of
the Command list. The virtual keyboard updates to show the new key assignment, labeled with a
gray dot and a color if the command belongs to a color-coded command group.

Note: When you assign a key combination to a command, the Delete key becomes an assignable
key when one of the modifier keys (Control, Option, Shift, or Command) is held down. For
information about deleting a command set, see “Delete a command set” below.
