Currently the best I've figured out how to access the " Custom Shorcuts" tab via two key combo is the following below in LM 21.1 Cinnamon

1. Create two key combo to launch cinnamon-settings keyboard . I chose super+F12 for this
2. I use xdotool and created the command below

xdotool key super+F12 sleep 0.2 key "Control_L+Tab" sleep 0.18 key "Return" sleep 0.15 key "Shift+Tab" key "End" key "Alt+F10"

and assigned the hotkey combo of super+k

The problem is regardless of the . sleep ...number... If it's been a good while ( say easily more than 10 minutes) since the last time I used super+k together. It will launch cinnamon-settings keyboard, but it will only maximize aka perform the ALT+F10 function at the end instead of all the in between keystrikes == ctrl+tab, pressing Return and Shift+Tab and End

Now if I close it regardless of how, and then try super+k again..It works as it should

I'd like to know if there is a better way to do this...such as maybe some extended version of the command cinnamon-settings keyboard

I've tried :

cinnamon-settings keyboard shortcuts
cinnamon-settings keyboard;shortcuts
cinnamon-settings keyboard; shortcuts

cinnamon-settings keyboard:shortcuts
cinnamon-settings keyboard: shortcuts
cinnamon-settings keyboard :shortcuts

cinnamon-settings keyboard,shortcuts
cinnamon-settings keyboard, shortcuts
cinnamon-settings keyboard ,shortcuts

cinnamon-settings keyboard-shortcuts
cinnamon-settings keyboard- shortcuts
cinnamon-settings keyboard -shortcuts
cinnamon-settings keyboard - shortcuts

and of course all of those combinations with the word " shortcuts" capitalized with first letter..no dice

Is there a simpler way I'm missing here? An internet search only yields how to create keyboard shortcuts...not a way to directly launch straight to accessing Custom Shortcuts within the Keyboard Shortcuts ...then Shortcuts button at top and then Custom Shortcuts tab on the left with my xdotool idea
