Creating New Keyboard Shortcots fur Lock Screen and Spotlight search I know the defaults:


control+shift+power : Lock screen
command+space : Spotlight


I do NOT want to change these -- they must continue to work.

However, due to severely ingrained muscle memory and the fact that I work on many other sensitive systems in the same day, I need to create two new shortcuts that do the same thing:


command+L (or similar) : Lock screen
control+space : Spotlight


How can this be accomplished on OS X?  (simple settings change, or editing DefaultKeyBinding.dict , or via 3rd party software )
You can use KeyRemap4MacBook to map key combinations to other key combinations:

&lt;autogen&gt;__KeyToConsumer__ KeyCode::L, VK_COMMAND | ModifierFlag::NONE, ConsumerKeyCode::EJECT, ModifierFlag::CONTROL_L | ModifierFlag::SHIFT_L&lt;/autogen&gt;

&lt;autogen&gt;__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::SPACE, VK_CONTROL | ModifierFlag::NONE, KeyCode::SPACE, ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L&lt;/autogen&gt;

See the source for the key code values and predefined settings.
