Create or change a keyboard shortcut
You can add new shortcuts to BlackBerry Keyboard keys that can be used on the home screen or in the BlackBerry Hub.
Tip: If you want to add a shortcut for a key that already has a shortcut assigned to it, you can change the shortcut for that
key without first deleting the shortcut. If you press a key that doesn't have a shortcut, your BlackBerry device prompts you
to create one.
