This is not handled by gedit. You need to make the mime-type system
aware of your new filesystem. It's a freedesktop standard I don't have

You have to activate the editable shortcut keys in the gnome prefs for
menus and toolbars. Then you need to hover the menu item and hit the
shortcut you want to define. Hard to explain but damn handy ;-)
