Keyboard shortcut for foreground color picker in photoshop doesn't work

I always set a keyboard shortcut for the foreground color picker in Photoshop to accelerate my professional workflow. After the update, I found I could no longer call out the foreground colour picker by pressing the key I set up for this function. 

I couldn't revert to the older version as it seems that Adobe deleted all of them. This error completely interrupts my workflow, and I feel very frustrated. Has anyone encountered the same problem? Is there any solution to it?

Ok, if double-clicking works, then the script would appear to be saved correctly.

 

Is the script listed under File > Scripts?

 

Can you execute the script using File > Scripts > Browse?

 

Can you post screenshots of the Script menu contents and the Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts where you assigned to the Script?

Did you read the link to my blog?

 

You have to install the script, restart Photoshop and then assign or reasssign the keyboard shortcut.

I pasted the .jsx but nothing seems to be happening... the shortcut for the foreground color picker remains dormant

Don't use AppleScript Editor for ExtendScript!

Does not work for me too. Why does photoshop break something everytime they update?
