Not everyone knows that the keyboard for Mac allows you to bind convenient keyboard shortcuts to menu commands of almost any Mac application. This is one of the features of the "apple" of desktop OSes, which sets it apart from other systems.

Here is an example in Safari: I do not have a trackpad, but because there is no possibility of a gesture to switch the browser to display ribbon tabs mode - menu View> View all tabs (View> Show All Tabs). Convenient it would be to call this command, for example, button F3Because its "multimedia" function is responsible for calling the Mission Control. Let's go point by point:

1. Start the "System Settings", open the module, Keyboard (Keyboard) and click on the tab Shortcut keys (Keyboard Shortcuts).
2. In the left list, select The keyboard shortcut for a program (Application Shortcuts).
3. Below the list, right-click on the button +.
4. On the panel that appears in the drop-down list, select the Safari option.
5. In the text box The name of the menu (Menu Title) type the exact (!) name of the team Show all tabs (Show All Tabs) (Only one language version).

Exceptions are special menu items (such as color labels switches in the Finder) and applications written back in the Carbon programming environment (although these older applications almost left).

Clicking on it, you have the right to see all the available services. It remains only to find the desired service, select a convenient shortcut for it and check that the to the left of the service name has been included "tick" - otherwise the service will not be accessible through the menu applications.
