Add keyboard shortcut Hotkey to em_ or cm_ commands
To assign an keyboard shortcut key (hotkey) to an command,
utilize "Configuration > Options > Misc. >>> Redefine hotkeys (Keyboard remapping)".
Note the [big black triangle]-button on the right side of "(o) Hotkey"
and read menu "Help > Keyboard" . . . . for shortcuts which are already used.
Own shortcuts are stored in wincmd.ini's "[Shortcuts]" -section.
* Open menu "Configuration > Options..."
+ open "Misc."
* by "()Hotkey" choose a free key combo as keyboard shortcut
--or--
* by "()Alias" enter a few digits-or-letters for to use in TCs command line box
* For Command: click on the [magnifying glass]-button.
* Browse and choose the wanted command by double clicking on it.
(To filter type em_ or cm_ and maybe more letters or just a keyword like 'copy')
* Close the "Choose command"-dialog
* Apply with the [green check mark]-button !!!
* Close the options dialog with [OK]

Please note that there are programs which reserve hotkeys system-wide without asking the user!
So if your hotkey is suddenly not working (anymore) maybe some other application is stealing that key?
You can also manipulate the wincmd.ini's "[Shortcuts]" section manually by hand.
Examples:
C=Ctrl/Strg
A=Alt
S=Shift/Umschalt
CA=Ctrl+Alt
CS=Ctrl+Shift
CAS=Ctrl+Alt+Shift
Fx=F-functionskey
Add an Letter or Digit to complete the shortcut.
