Hotkey for "Export Selection" Command

I need to export many selections in Illustrator and I'm looking for a hotkey for the Export Selection command instead of clicking File > Export Selection each time. A hotkey would streamline the process, but I have yet to find one. I have looked around online and I have searched through the list of Illustrator hotkeys on Adobe's website. Any assistance would be appreciated!

You may assign a custom shortcut in the Edit menu > Keyboard Shortcuts dialog.

Is there any way to ensure I am not cancelling out an existing hotkey, without studying the Illustrator hotkey list and cross-referencing my planned hotkey to make sure it is not already in use? Will Illustrator inform me that the hotkey is already in use or just overwrite it without notifying me first?

You may take a closer look at the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog. There you can also save and choose different shortcut sets. This way, conflicts or unwanted overwritings should be prevented anyway.
