MacOS – keyboard shortcut to pin a tab

macossafari

In the Safari 9 for OS X El Capitan there is a new feature whereby you can pin a tab. As a result you will see a colored icon with the first letter of the website.

Now I wonder if there is a keyboard shortcut to do that automatically without me first right-click on that tab to pin it. When I go to Window > Pin Tab I see no shortcut. I know that this does not always mean that there is no keyboard shortcut for it.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not on El Capitan yet. But if there is a menu bar entry in Safari to create a pinned tab, you can assign a custom keyboard shortcut.

  1. Go to System Preferences > Keyboard
  2. Select the Shortcuts Tab
  3. Select App Shortcuts at the bottom of the list
  4. Create a new shortcut:
    • Application Safari
    • The title is the exact name of the menu bar entry
    • Choose a shortcut that you like
