Checkout the IB FAQ (From within IB Help->FAQ). Although this
particular trick might not be documented there.

Cool, it worked! There are some really neat tricks hidden away in
IB/PB. I'm going to be so miserable when I have to port this stuff to
Windows.
Any budding authors out there want to write 'Top Tips for Cocoa'? We
need a book to tell us about all these hidden wonders.

Open the menu in IB, and double-click to the right of the menu item's
title (where the shortcut is shown if the menu item already has one).
A box should appear around that area. Then, just hit the key
combination that you want and it will be entered as the shortcut.
This way you can even do some cool shortcuts not involving the
command key - for instance the function and arrow keys. Shame the
help key is intercepted somewhere higher up the responder chain...
Likewise numlock and del can't be used on their own, but most other
'special' keys can.
If you want to have no shortcut key you can double-click and press
'del' (the forward delete key) or open up the inspector panel and
delete the contents of the 'key equivalent' text field in the
attributes section.
Cheers,

Preview's View menu has a Zoom in and a Zoom out menu option. The
short cut for these is the command key plus the up arrow or down
arrow. Preview displays a little arrow on the menu items.
Does anyone know how I can get the up arrow and down arrow
characters into the IB spec for my menu items?
