    Very useful information for me, besides, the hidden bar app is excellent (restart mac to activate it)
    Thank you!

    Hello,
    I am desperately trying to add a keyboard shortcut to a sub menu in a Status Menu app like iCollections. I can add any shortcut to Menu bar commands (top left) in System prefs but it never recognises my shortcut for Status Menu items (top right). Any help would be greatly appreciated... if it can be done. Thank you.

    Daisy: No, you can't do that for items under status menus. The developer of the app would need to do that.

    Dave: No solution, sorry. If it is irregular I would just ignore it since you are using an old outdated system anyway.
