Another Feature Request: Command-keys for Scripts

[Mark Guzdial]

Here's another feature request, but fairly low-priority (and probably 
pretty difficult): I'd like to be able to assign unassigned command-keys 
to scripts.  For example, I have a "Save All" script that saves all my 
open windows.  I'd like to be able to do that with (say) Command-Shift-S.

The "fairly complicated" part is not technical but interface wise.  It's 
hard to come up with a nice interface that makes it obvious what you're 
doing in assigning command keys, and then there's the issue of the 
script being moved out of the Scripts folder after you've assigned the 
key and how you deal with that and what novices are supposed to make of 
it, etc.  (I wouldn't mind some kind of naming convention, e.g., I name 
my script "Save All--CmdShS".)

Despite the problems, it's on my "Dear Santa," er, "Dear Brian" list :-)
