Using Automator and Keyboard Shortcuts in System Preferences, I was able to assign 'CTRL ALT =' as a shortcut to start my screensaver.

I decided to install Mountain Lion from scratch (new hard drive, wanted it fresh), and I forgot to backup/write down how I had this setup.

I found it from a Google search once upon a time, and I can't find out how to do it anymore. From what I recall, it involved creating a new service in Automator, dragging the 'Start Screensaver' function into that new service, saving it and assigning a keyboard shortcut to it in System Preferences.

But I think I'm missing a step, because I can't get it to work!
