Running a Script from a Shortcut Key
As well as being able to assign the Run Script command to a shortcut key it is also possible to run a specific saved script from a chosen shortcut key.
To achieve this, it is first necessary to add the named script as a User Tool using the Tools tab in the Customise dialog. A quick way to access this is selecting Tools | User Tools | Add Tool….
Once defined as a user tool, the script can be assigned to a shortcut key in the normal way using the Keyboard tab in the Customise dialog and selecting User Tools from the Category drop-down list.
