To create your own application keyboard shortcut in the Keyboard settings:

Click the row that was just added. When the Set Custom Shortcut window opens, hold down the desired shortcut key combination.
Click Add.
The command name that you type should be a valid system command. You can check that the command works by opening a Terminal and typing it in there. The command that opens an application cannot have the same name as the application itself.
