Some shortcuts can't be assigned because they clash with defaults for other things... like the Enter key for example where it usually means run the active button.  So try manually editing them in the usersettings file.

Normally in here:

W10/8/7
c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\Studio16\UserSettings.xml

Custom keyboard shortcuts will be in here:

<SettingsGroup Id="ShortcutsSettingsGroup">

Not at all. but I verify your answer because I don't think you can help.
How can 'they clash with defaults for other things' in the above-described situation? Can't you see there are 3 instances of same shortcut. Two of them 'clash' (turn red when I attempt to assign them). Not because of 'other things', but because I cannot assign same shortcut 3 times, even though F6 was assigned by default for all 3 shortcuts.

I did say like the "Enter" key specifically because this is used for a function that is used in windows for other things.  You are quite an aggressive character!

I thought this because Alt+Tab is similarly something windows uses to control the movement between open windows.

Anyway... very happy not to have to respond to you at all!

Ha-ha, didn't notice your reply :) I came across the same question again and found your reply as late as now. Well... Even if I was aggressive, it was only because I had to struggle with this software and even more with explaining the obvious issue. Why on earth it has F6 key assigned to three commands simultaneously by default, but I still can't re-assign exactly the same F6 key back to exactly the same three commands again? And why on earth you explain this behavior by "clashing with defaults for other things" when there even is a screenshot available above showing a prompt that reads "Shortcut already in use by Editor". This can drive anybody nuts...
