How to set up shortcut for Trap command from Pathfinder menu?

This topic has been closed for replies.
Correct answer Andrei Koziakov

Hi,


1.
It's possible to record a simple action in the 'Actions' panel and assign F1-F12 keys with Shift or Cmd/Ctrl keys to this action.

But if you need to change 'Trap' options each time you  must activate 'dialog' option for this action.

2.

Also it's possible to assign a shortcut for "Trap" as an effect.

But in this case you also need to assign some shortcut for Expand command, because each time this Trap effect must be expanded.

You can't create this shortcut for the panel menu, but you can set it to Pathfinder effect and use it with object groups, for example.
