      What would be the easiest way to add custom keyboard shortcuts to some of the boolean operations?

        View > Customize > Keyboard Shortcuts
        Then, In 'Actions' section go to Object> Combine. Select an operation and add it to shortcuts.

          @Boldline Here's how:

          • choose 'Keyboard Shortcuts' from the VectorStyler menu;
          • choose 'Multiple Selected Objects' from the Context menu;
          • expand the 'Object' folder in the column on the right, then its 'Combine' subfolder;
          • choose let's say 'Union';
          • click the 'Add Shortcut' button;
          • click the right side of the new entry, under the 'Shortcut' column;
          • press the key combination you want to assign;
          • click 'OK'.

            @encart shows where to find keyboard shortcuts customization on Windows and I show where to find it on the Mac. πŸ™‚

              @b77 Oh I forgot @Boldline is on a Mac and there can be differences. Apart from that, your way is better because it relates directly to the context.

                @encart @b77 Thank you to both of you! I appreciate the help. I was having trouble tracking them down for some reason

                  @Boldline It looks like if you add a shortcut with Option, you’ll get a composite object instead, so don’t use that if you want normal combine operation.
