Hi, looking to have 3 Min bar period as a keybaord shortcut. 5/10/15 min all appear in the keyboard bar period list so no problem there. The 3 Min does not. How can i assign a 3 min bar period to a keyboard shortcut ?

There is not a built-in way to set a custom bar period for a Keyboard Shortcut. To do this, you would need to create a Custom Study that has a Control Bar button setup for the bar period you want, and then set a Keyboard Shortcut for that control bar button. Refer to the following:
Advanced Custom Study Interaction With Menus, Control Bar Buttons, Pointer Events

Just so you are aware, you can create a Control Bar button that has a custom bar period. Refer to the following:
