How to Create Keyboard Shortcuts for Any Windows Application<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Right-click on the shortcut to the app you need a keyboard shortcut for, and then select Properties<\/strong>.\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    If you can’t find a shortcut, right-click on the relevant executable file and choose New<\/strong> -> Shortcut<\/strong>.<\/li>\n

  2. In the Properties window, go to the Shortcut<\/strong> tab. Click in the Shortcut key<\/strong> box and type a letter or number. This character is appended to Ctrl+Alt, so you’ll end up with something like Ctrl+Alt+F.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  3. Click OK<\/strong> to save your change. When asked for administrator permissions, click on Continue<\/strong>.\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    You can then launch your application using the keyboard combination: CTRL + ALT + a letter \/ number. That’s it!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you want to delete the keyboard shortcut later, just open the Properties window again and click in the Shortcut key<\/strong> box and press the Backspace key to delete the shortcut.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
