Setting Global Shortcuts for Bash for Windows

I have started using Bash for Windows as part of my workflow. For a long time, I have been using the standard command prompt with Git Bash tools hooked up to my path (using chocolately to install the tools in one command choco install git -params '"/GitAndUnixToolsOnPath"'). This was nice because I could use the shortcut Windows Key + X then C to open a command prompt and get access to Linux like tools such as ls, git and grep.

Now that I am using Bash for Windows I wanted to have a shortcut set up as well. I found it was really easy to set up using the Shortcut key setting on the shortcut properties window. This process could be used for any application that has a shortcut setup. The basic steps are:

1. Find the shortcut by Windows Key the type bash
2. Right click on the shortcut and select open file location

1. Right click on the shortcut in the folder and select Properties
2. Select Shortcut key and type your keyboard shortcut
