If this is your first time setting a custom shortcut you'll see a button titled "Add Shortcut." Otherwise you'll see a list of your shortcuts with a plus sign at the bottom.

For the *Command* field, type the name of our program: `terminator`. Then click "Set Shortcut" to set your new key combination.
