I wouldn't bother assigning a shortcut for it as you can use a hot corner.

System preferences, desktop & screensaver, screensaver, hot corners, and pick a corner.
Then you drag your mouse to that corner, and voila :)

thanks for the reply 6string.

i'm aware of the hot mouse corners.... but if possible i'd like to set a keyboard key to activate it.
