    Hey guys,

     

    I got the Preferences Shortcut to work, but can you make a shortcut to which Preference you want?

     

    For example, if I hold down Command+Space, the Sound options appear.

     

    This would save me a lot of time.  Thanks.

    ALT + F2 (brightness up) keys will open System Preferences > Display system pane.

     

    While in System Preferences > Display use CMD + L keys to move from the Display system pane back to full list of ALL system panes.

    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!
