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!
David

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