I use Visual C++ 2008 in Visual Studio 2008. I frequently use the following command to diff an open file against its most recent checked-in version:

File | Source Control | Compare... 

I can also do the same thing by clicking on an icon in the Source Control toolbar.

I’m not certain, but I believe this command is the same for any source control plugin (I happen to use the Perforce plugin.)

I’d like to assign a keyboard shortcut to execute this command but I can’t seem to find it listed anywhere in dialog where such assignments are normally made:

Tools | Customize... | Commands 

Did I just not see the command in the customize dialog? Is there another method to assign such a keyboard shortcut?
