I have a template set up in Snow Leopard's Terminal.app to create a new window or tab with my preferred emulation settings for a particular host that I use.
I'd like to assign a keyboard shortcut to that template so that I can quickly create a new window with those settings.
I tried using the Keyboard Shortcuts System Preference pane to do it. I can assign the shortcut key to the MyTemplate submenu, but it doesn't work when I try to use it. I suspect because the MyTemplate is listed in multiple submenus -- one for New Window and one for New Tab.
How can I assign a keyboard shortcut to my new fancy template?
PS. I do NOT wish to change my default (cmd-N) template.
