Create floating window keyboard shortcut?

Has anyone figured out how to create a keyboard shortcut to open a floating window?

It doesn't look like it can be done from within Capture One as they do not included the needed menu items as something to which you can apply a keyboard shortcut.   I tried using a macOS application keyboard shortcut but the menu names show up in multiple sub menus and when I use the assigned shortcut it adds the tool to the Library tab instead of opening a floating window.

  I don't believe you can create a shortcut for a specific floating tool to appear, the quickest way I know is Windows>Create Floating Tool>.... then there is a list of the tools.

  Otherwise you'll have to drag and drop the tool you want from the Tool Tab. If you want a tool to be both in the Tool Tab and as a floating window, again go to Windows>Create Floating Tool>... and you'll have both.

  Bummer.  I've been using the Window>Create Floating Tool>... Wait.  I just remembered something.

  Yep.  Mac Keyboard preferences. Shortcuts tab.   Select App Shortcuts and add a shortcut for Capture One 20.app.  The secret is in how you specify the menu name.   Window > Create Floating Tool > Library, for example, needs to be coded like this:

  Window->Create Floating Tool->Library

  No spaces.   -> must be used for sub menus.   Thanks for the hint.  I had tried " > " and " => ".  I forgot about -> and the need to leave spaces out.
