I've configured a handful external tools that I use frequently and would
like to assign a keyboard shortcut to them. I looked under
window->preference->Workbench->Keys but coudn't find anyways to do this.

Thanks

Currently not possible.
You can only assign shortcuts to the last external tool run.
In the latest Eclipse integration builds there is also the ability to have a
keyboard shortcut to launch an Ant build (similar for Java apps etc).

Please file a feature request against platform-ant (we hand the external
tool integration as well)

Thanks

Did you end up doing so, Harit? The feature request I found has existed for nearly a decade, and is marked WON'T FIX. Since I use multiple external tools, I hope this gets revisited, or that somebody can point me to an alternative solution.
