Customer keyboard shortcut for inserting sketch ONLY from iPad

I know how to add a customer keyboard shortcut. The problem is, in the menu File > Insert from iPhone or iPad, both devices have the same command "Add Sketch". So, now when I use the customer keyboard shortcut, it defaults to iPhone. I want to add a sketch from iPad, using the customer shortcut. Any help much appreciated!

That won't work as Matthew's iPad (2) is a command itself.

You would need two separate items in the File menu to do what I suggested.

Since it combines them into one command with individual subcommands, there's no way to isolate one from the other.

Thanks for the reply! So the menu is kind of weird (see attached) and I think this is the problem.


The customer keyboard shortcut doesn't know which device, iPad or iPhone, because the commands are exactly the same for each--"Add Sketch". It just defaults to the first one, the iPhone (and I want iPad).


To try to override it defaulting to iPhone, I added " Matthew's iPad (2) Add Sketch", but then neither one works.
