how to bind a command to 'Restart and Run All'?

Question

I have recent build of Jupyter than has a menu action allowing you to Restart & Run All:

I would like to add a keyboard shortcut that binds to this action. I have seen the documentation for keyboard customization, but I'm still unsure how to add a keyboard shortcut.

I've built Juypter from source, so based on the help, it would appear that I need to add some code to notebook/static/custom/custom.js.

I've tried adding the following:

IPython.keyboard_manager.command_shortcuts.add_shortcut('meta-r', function (event) {
        IPython.notebook.restart_kernel();
        IPython.notebook.execute_run_all();
        return false;
});

However, when I press [Meta-r], the kernel seems to restart but execute_run_all() does not get executed.

Just in case someone stumbles upon this post looking for the same answer: you need to wait for the kernel to restart with a timeout before executing. See this discussion on GitHub.

In your case, it would give:

IPython.keyboard_manager.command_shortcuts.add_shortcut('meta-r',
  function (event) {
      IPython.notebook.kernel.restart();
      setTimeout(function(){ IPython.notebook.execute_all_cells(); }, 1000);
      return false;
});
