Creating keyboard shortcuts in the Shortcuts app?

I'm a new user of Apple's Shortcuts app on my new iMac OS 12.3.1


I'm having difficulty creating a few simple keyboard shortcuts.


For example, I was successful in creating a custom keyboard shortcut for the Date by using "Command D"


However, when I attempt to create a keyboard shortcut for Time, it will not allow me to use "Command T"


My question is:

What keys/letters are (or are not) permitted to be used in creating keyboard shortcuts?

Is there a list somewhere?


Thank you.

Command-T is preassigned.


Here is one list: Mac keyboard shortcuts - Apple Support

There is also a list in System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts.
