[SOLVED] How to add keyboard shortcuts in XFCE?

I'm giving XFCE a try lately after all of the changes I'm seeing, I'm trying to add a new shortcut to ease some tasks but I don't have a clue on how to do it.

I go to Settings -> Keyboard and there to "Application shortcuts". Then I  select to add a new one and point to the script I want to run, but I don't have a clue on how to select the shortcut. I've tried pressing the keys I want to bind, but no way.

This is what I'm seeing:

How to choose the actual shortcut?

It is the next screen   Pick the command, click OK.  It then throws up a box telling you to press the key combination.  It will show as you push meta, shift and control modifiers.  When you hit a character that generates a keystroke, it saves it, along with the modifiers.
