How to add keyboard shortcut to Photos

So adding keyboard short cuts is easy. You do it in system preferences and I know how to do that.


My problem is that I want to add a keyboard shortcut to: Export Photos


Apple tells you to use the specific command when adding shortcuts, but the command for Export Photos changes every time you select a photo. If you select one photo the specific command is: Export 1 Photo .... if you select 4 photos to be exported the specific command is: Export 4 Photos


So, the problem is that the command changes dependent on how many photos you select for exporting.


I have already created a shortcut for Export Unmodified Originals, but this is not always the command I'd like to action.

Does anyone know how to create a keyboard shortcut for commands that are not fixed?


Thanks.

OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

Added: Which version of Photos do you have?

If you are still on Yosemite as your profile signature states, consider to upgrade to Sierra. Photos is much more versatile in this version.


I'm using Photos 2.0, and there is already a predefined keyboard shortcut for "File > Export > Export ... versions", the key combination Shift-command-E
