Illustrator Actions switching document tabs
I have two document templates open. I would love to be able to use the Actions to record my action of switching tabs and continuing my actions on the second document. I know the keyboard shortcuts for switching tabs, but I can't record that action in Actions panel.

This is something you can achieve with scripts: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/how-to-switch-illustrator-documents-using-script/td-p/8364092
You can then make an action to call this script.
Actions are more about operating within a document, although I agree they can benefit from more extensive applications.
