Create a custom keyboard shortcut:


Note: Pressing the Option-F6 keys will take you directly to the Keyboard pane of System Preferences. Additionally, if you don't have Full Keyboard Access set to "All controls", you can press the Fn-Control-F7 keys to set. This will allow you to (from the Keyboard pane) press the Tab key once, then double-tap the right arrow key to take you to the Shortcuts menu. You can further navigate UI elements with the Tab and arrow keys, and make selections with the Spacebar key. Deselect with the Esc key.
