Bind key commands/actions to scripts

[IkeO...@adobeforums.com]

There's a lot of good scripts out there, please allow us to trigger them quickly with shortcuts or actions

[Michael_H....@adobeforums.com]

This has been requested before, and deserves to be requested repeatedly. For script users it would be a huge productivity boost.
By the way, you can make an action trigger a script now, but you have to re-set it every time the application is re-started, so it's really more of a bug fix than a new feature.

"By the way, you can make an action trigger a script now"

It doesn't record anything for me in CS4. Is there a trick?

[James_...@adobeforums.com]

You don't record it. You use the Insert Menu Item step in the Action. But as Michael mentions, it doesn't survive restarts of the program. The bug has existed (and has been reported) for four full versions now.

It would be very helpful if the Scripts list could be a persistent window. Some AI windows can be made "persistent" (stay open after use) but this one can't. So many "missing features" have been solved by scripts (and clever scripters); for those of us who need a particular task, often, to do our daily work, it would be so much easier to use them if it didn't take a long reach and swipe with the cursor to get at a tiny little place on the string of items to open a window, then have to repeat the same wrist-straining sequence of movements.
