+When creating a keyboard shortcut for custom functionality in an 
+aseprite extension, you must create a New Command for it first.
+You can then use that Command's title to bind the functionality 
+to the shortcut using the `.aseprite-keys` file.
+
+You can read more on how to create Commands in the [API documentation](https://www.aseprite.org/api/plugin#pluginnewcommand)
