Thanks for this.

That's what I also do but in that special case it doesn't work. Of course it 
works to copy the phrase to the clipboard so that I can paste it. But what 
doesn't work is to create a functioning short cut when a menue command has an 
elipsis. The chosen short cut apears in the system preferences but not in the 
menue of the program. 

Do you have an idea how to solve that issue? Or is it just not possible to 
create short cuts for menue commands with elipsisses?

Thanks and all the best
Jürgen
