Question

Is it possible to modify the shortcut file with InDesign scripts to set the shortcut key of scripts?

We know that every time the scripts are reinstalled, or the scripts name changes.
The shortcuts set for the script will not work and you will have to set them.

My shortcuts File look like this: 
C:\Users\adm\AppData\Local\Adobe\InDesign\Version 19.0-J\zh_CN\Caches\myshortCut.txt

C:\Users\adm\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\Version 19.0-J\zh_CN\InDesign Shortcut Sets\myshortCut.indk

 

My scripts are stored in D:\Program Files\ID about\JS\
Then, in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign 2024\Scripts\Scripts Panel\Samples\
Created JS.lik

I thought of a way to use ID's script to modify the shortcut file myshortCut.indk( maybe myshortCut.txt), to realize the setting of script shortcuts.

Take "Counter words【Ctrl+Alt+W】.jsx( or jsbin)" as an example:

As long as the  storage path are not changed,  then read the Ctrl+Alt+Wsection and write to myshortCut.indk to modify it.
There is no 【】 will not need to set.

 

Thank you very much.

Is there no support?


In addition to the preferences, one-click deployment is done with a script.
Includes scripts, shortcut settings, Grep settings, PDF export settings, workspace settings.
