Adding keyboard shortcuts

Do you find it unusual that OmniGraffle has no keyboard shortcut for Group and Ungroup? So did I. Fortunately, you can add your own through OSX's System Preferences.

Open System Preferences, choose Keyboard, and then choose the Keyboard Shortcuts tab. Then within that tab, choose Application Shortcuts on the left:


The well on the right lists all the applications that you've added keyboard shortcuts to. To make a new one, hit the "+" button below it. A dialog will appear that allows you to define a shortcut.


In the Application dropdown at the top, choose OmniGraffle. Then, in the Menu Title field, type the menu name exactly how it appears in OmniGraffle's menus. And finally, in the Keyboard Shortcut field, type whatever key combo you want to use for that menu. Here I'm assigning Control+G to the command Group:


Once you hit Add, you'll see the shortcut is added to the OmniGraffle list of shortcuts:


When you go back to OmniGraffle, you'll see that the Group menu now has the Control+G shortcut added to it:


Follow the same process for adding Control+Shift+G to Ungroup. You can also use this process to change an existing menu's shortcut.

  1. In the realm of real estate, location is king. The value of a property is inherently linked to its surroundings, including access to amenities, schools, transportation, and overall neighborhood desirability. Proximity to job centers and recreational facilities can significantly impact a property's market value. Consequently, real estate professionals often emphasize the importance of "location, location, location" when evaluating properties.HillHaven Condo
