In visual studio 2015, why isn't file-save output as available in keyboard shortcuts?

Hi,

In Visual Studio 2015, there is a useful option in the File menu to Save Output As...

I use this a lot, and I wanted to assign it a convenient keyboard shortcut, but I can't find it anywhere in the list of functions when I try to assign the key.

Anyone know why this is?

Kind wishes ~ Patrick

What I have tried:

In the dialog to assign the keyboard shortcut, I have tried searching on 'file', 'save, and 'output'. I have also looked through some big chunks of the list (though admittedly not all of it, because it is getting rather long these days).

It turns out that it is File.SaveSelectedItemAs. The text on the File menu changes depending upon what is selected.

So now what I need is a quick way to combine two commands: one to switch to the Output Windows and one to call File.SaveSelectedItemAs.

Don't suppose Visual Studio has a quick way to do the equivalent of this trivial macro?
