The default shortcut is Alt+(lowercase note), e.g. Alt-a

In which case you could assign it by pressing Alt-A while you have the
command highlighted in the menu. It would mean pressing Alt, Shift and
the key labelled "A" (on most keyboards), or having the CapsLock set
and pressing Alt and the key labelled "A".

This happens if you have the preference set for invoking menus from the
keyboard see "Menu Navigation by Keyboard" in the preferences (see
attached).

Having said all that, various O/Ses intercept certain keypresses before
they reach Denemo to do desktop operations - I just accidentally hit
one while typing this and got a screenshot ready to print - so you may
always have to change the shortcuts for your machine, or tell your O/S
how you want it to behave (assuming it is listening to you!)

I just tried this out - the focus is on the dialog in the current
version when finishing the piece or after re-invoking the command to
force it to stop.
