Is there a way to make a custom hotkey for specific functions? Like to solve my problem here: I’m working on a piece, its a replica and I have many references setup in some collections and I need to hide/unhide the collections all the time. I do it by hitting the relevant checkbox in the object browser list. Can I somehow hotkey that specific checkbox? If coding, IK how to code, but I do not know how to get console or script in blender, or at-least I need a ‘pointer’ to get started.

You can add a custom shortcut directly on most commands, using the assign Shortcut option.

In this case select the collection, press on the context menu (F3) look for the command and right click. A new menu will allow you to assign a shortcut directly.
