'Set Accelerator for'
Specifies the menu, for which to change the shortcuts. Has to be 'Default'.
'Current Keys'
List of shortcuts currently assigned to the command selected in the 'Commands' list.
'Press new Shortcut Key'
Press the key combination here, you would like to assign to the selected command.
'Assign'
Add the shortcut shown in the 'Press new Shortcut Key' field to the list of shortcuts for the selected command.
'Remove'
