Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Is there a keyboard shortcut for system preferences?

Only similar queries are 8 years old and not very helpful.


tnx

Worked for me. El Capitan 10.11.6

One needs to follow instructions EXACTLY as described above:

"

Type the menu command for which you want to set a keyboard shortcut in the Menu Title field.

You must type the command exactly as it appears in the application menu, including ellipses and any other punctuation. An ellipsis is a special character that looks like three periods. To type an ellipsis, press Option-semicolon, or use the Character Viewer. It may be difficult to know whether the command is written in the menu with a real ellipsis or with three periods, so if one does not work, try the other."

Big THANK YOU!
