Q: Change Messages "Delete Conversation…" keyboard shortcut not add a second shortcut
How can I change Messages "Delete Conversation…" keyboard shortcut without adding a second shortcut?
I added a new App shortcut correctly via Keyboard Preferences, and the result is a second menu item called "Delete Conversation" not "Delete Conversation…" no matter what combination I try to enter for the menu item.
I've tried entering the following for the menu item name, all with the same result of adding a second item without the ellipsis:
- Delete Conversation
- Delete Conversation...
- Delete Conversation…
- File->Delete Conversation
- File->Delete Conversation...
- File->Delete Conversation…
When I enter no periods or ellipsis on an entry, there is a new shortcut with the original shortcut unchanged. When I do enter either periods or ellipsis for an entry, my new shortcut is created and the original is changed to require ⌥⌘⌫ rather than the default ⌘⌫.
Anyone know how to completely remove the keyboard shortcut to the File->Delete Conversation… item OR change that keyboard shortcut, rather than have a second entry or the latter behavior where it adds ⌥?

hi,
Removing the Keystrokes from a Menu item is not something I have attempted.
I have created a Keystroke for something in Messages.
Adding a Hyper Link used to have a Keystroke back in it's iChat days.
You can only add such a Short Cut (Keystrokes) if the Menu item is in the app.
This means only Menu item without Keystrokes can be added.
I am not sure that you can change the Keystrokes of one that exists already.
Often they are a System wide linked function (CMD + K is adding a Link in most apps, Save and Print are always there).
