UV editor vert, edge and face selection modes as keybinds?

Question

How can I take that bpy.data.scenes python line and make a keybind of it?

Can copy from the top console but how does one pass it as the keybind? — Sensimas, Jan 20 '17 at 10:24
I would have marked this a duplicate of this, but it may have been non-obvious that Ctrl+Tab also works in the UV/Image-Editor. — Ray Mairlot, Jan 20 '17 at 12:25
Buttons get asigned using the method you've provided, but nothing happens when I press them. What is causing this ? — Sensimas, Jan 20 '17 at 12:39
What keyboard keys did you assign them to? It's possible the keys you chose are already in use. I suggest combining Shift, Alt or Ctrl with them to make the shortcut unique. In my example I assigned Shift+Q to Vertex mode. — Ray Mairlot, Jan 20 '17 at 13:20
I just tested 1, 2, 3, and 4 for the selection modes and they worked, so it should work for you. — Ray Mairlot, Jan 20 '17 at 13:32
Had double asignment on the same button in the same submenu. It is now working as intended. Thank you very much Ray ! — Sensimas, Jan 20 '17 at 13:42

There is already a shortcut for the UV selection type menu, it is Ctrl+Tab.

After pressing Ctrl+Tab you can right-click on Vertex, Edge, Face or Island and choose Add Shortcut.

This is much easier than trying to do it via the key-bindings editor as you can see from the complexity of the new shortcut after it is added:

To make these new shortcuts appear in all files go to File> User Preferences> Save User Settings.
