Assign shortcuts to custom scripts and allow actions to run custom scripts
Hello!
It would be great to be able to assign a keyboard shortcut to a custom script. We use custom scripts in AI for a large variety of tasks at my job and we currently have to use a third party program on Mac (Quicksilver) in order to "assign" a shortcut to run them. This causes the scripts to run a bit slower and requires more development and support.
Additionally, it would be helpful to run custom scripts as a step within an action. This is currently possible to setup, but the action will "forget" the script the next time you start AI.
Thanks!

Illustrator exists for more then 30 years, and it's still not possible to attach a shortcut to a script (like in Indesign). Current workarounds like using an action only work when a document is open, and is still a workaround. Please allow users to assign a shortcut to run a Javascript.

While the infamous bug with 'forgetting scripts in actions' had been fixed, the fact we still have to wrap a script into an action is frustrating... Photoshop allows to assign a hotkey to any script within the default location (thus displayed in the menu).

I believe the issue with AI forgetting script steps in an action has been fixed.
