Sync on this device with resilio sync shortcut

Hello guys!

KM newbie here.

I'm trying to create a shortcut to a resilio sync function. When you have selective syncing activated you can sync just the files you need. It's done with a "Services" submenu, and I'd like to streamline it. There is no keyboard shortcut available, nor it is configurable. So here's a job for KM :slight_smile:

This is the submenu. How do I activate it with KM?
To make it work I have to select the files in finder, than select "Sincronizza su questo dispositivo" (I'm in Italy).

I really have no idea on where to start. Please, help! :joy:

You can natively add a keyboard shortcut for services in System Settings -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcus -> Services

If it is a Service, can you set a shortcut yourself?

System Settings -> Keyboard -> Services

...and look for the "Share with Resilio Sync" item ("Files and Folders", maybe?), double-click, and set a shortcut.

Otherwise you should be able to open the Contextual Menu with ⌃Return and select the item by typing in the name:

The things I continue to learn on this forum. I had no idea you could do that!

Alternatively you could also build this into Keyboard Maestro.
