If you frequently use a certain application, you can set a keyboard shortcut to quickly launch that application on GNOME.
This example shows how to set a key shortcut to launch the terminal.
To set a key shortcut to run an application:
. Navigate to menu:Settings[Keyboard] to open the *Keyboard Shortcuts* list.
. Click `+` at the bottom of the list to create a new shortcut.
. Enter the following details in the *Add Custom Shortcut* window:
* Add a `Name` for your shortcut, for example, `Terminal`.
* Enter the command that launches the application. For example, `gnome-terminal`.
. Click *Set Shortcut* to open the *Set Custom Shortcut* window.
. Type a keyboard shortcut, for example `Ctrl-Alt-T`.
