How do you create a shortcut for paste new in Fusion 360?

I'm new to Fusion 360 and I have just realized that all my problems can be fixed with paste new. So I start using it, but it is slow since I have to go through the menus. Is there a way to add a shortcut for paste new?

I have a hard time understanding why you think a simple right click of your mouse to bring up the context menu is time consuming but I will offer you another method to make a Shortcut Key by using an add-in to Fusion called "Anyshortcut".  Here is the web link to the add-in if you would like it.

Thank you for the solution. I will check it out. Also paste new only gets time consuming when you have to paste new multiple copies of something. The constant right-clicking, pressing ok, then going back to the other side of the page to start over is much slower than when I used paste for everything. I just kept my mouse icon hovering over where the ok button will appear while pressing ctrl+v.

Thanks for your reply and solution. Regarding your hard time understanding, let's make it simple 🙂
Shortcuts are faster to operate than graphical context menus. That's a fact.

 

I am used to operate my computers mostly through the keyboard, the lack of shortcuts feels like a handicap. Sure the mouse is a centric input tool in 3D design. Though, it's undisputable a person utilizing shortcuts proficiently will operate Fusion (I believe quite a lot) more efficiently than someone doing everything just with the mouse. At least there's an Add-in.
