# Add a keyboard shortcut to Swift package command plugins

In this blog post I will explain how you can define a keyboard shortcut to quickly trigger a Swift package command plugin in Xcode 14.

If you are unfamiliar with Swift package plugins and their recent Xcode integration, I recommend reading the following article.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to define a key binding from the Xcode preference 😔

I created a [feedback item for Apple](https://t.co/JszRV7wHSC) .. maybe this functionality will get added in the future. But there is a workaround!

A big shoutout and thanks to [Martin Fiebig](https://twitter.com/MrtnFbg) who [explained](https://twitter.com/MrtnFbg/status/1539595686391554049?s=20&t=qDmZgwU-oP1gpghCrt2yvA) this workaround to me 🙏

You can bind any menu command via your Mac's `System Preferences`. Select `Keyboard` -> `Shortcuts` -> `App Shortcuts` and add a new item.

**IMPORTANT**:  The menu title needs to be an exact match!

You will see the shortcut in Xcode once you added the app shortcut.

And here is the proof that it works 😊
