Can't get keyboard shortcut to work for retime 4x

I'm trying to make a custom keyboard shortcut for retime 4x

Watched some youtubes on how to do custom keyboard shortcuts but cannot get this thing working...

I've made a duplicate of the keyboard, then am holding down CMD+S in this case, which brings up the menu. The key S is gray so as far as I know it's 'available' to be assigned for this shortcut...

But nothing happens (?) I never get the option to click Save. That button is always grayed out

And the modifiers never appear where I have drawn the red box.

Am I doing something simple wrong? Please someone let me know how I can get this done.

Thanks :)

Using Command-S for anything other than “Save” is probably not the best idea, but from what I can tell, you have NOT selected the Command modifier (see the top of the window); also, what exactly are you doing to associate the shortcut? I have not done this in a long time and I am not at my mac to check, but you should probably DRAG the desired command over the shortcut or something like that.

Actually you can apply Cmd-S, though as Luis said it's probably not recommended. Select Command at the top. Search for Retime. Select the the one you want and drag it onto the key.

Did you try using a different shortcut? Cmd-S is the save key and is system restricted. Of course it doesn’t work in FCP but no matter, the system controls that keyboard shortcut.

legends. thanks so much guys.

the minute I dragged it onto the key as described above it worked fine.

I've chosen a different key other than S too.

thanks again!
