You can put Ctrl+F (Last Filter) into an action using Insert Menu Item from the Actions panel flyout menu, but it needs to be recorded when there is no last filter to use, like just after youv'e opened photoshop.

    What Photoshop Release you have that you can check in Help / About'?

    In CS6 you could use:

    runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID('lastFilter'))

    But in CC 2021 default Ctrl & Alt & F remembers Liquify from only previous Photoshop session.

      I do not understand what exactly you want to ask. Do you run action or script? If you want to press some keyboard shortcut on your own or to do something else while running/playing action then you can:

      • turn modal dialogue what is useful for Open command, Place command, some other dialogues to adjust settings
      • insert stop then to continue playing action after performing some action manually.

        Save it as lstStp.jsx to Presets / Scripts of your Photoshop folder. Launch Ps and on Actions panel click on last step of your action you want it add after. Then by the same panel menu select 'Insert Menu Item' and choose File / Script / lstStp:

         

        cmmnd = 'CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").SendKeys "^f"';
(vbs = File(Folder.desktop + '/.vbs')).open('w')
vbs.write(cmmnd), vbs.close(), vbs.execute()
