[Q] Execute menu command from Script (CEP, ExtendScript)?

Hi Bruce Bullis​

Thank you very much for verification.

# I can stop looking for.

The considering menu commands are most of them without dialog popping up.

The whole workflow is hardware integration. Single button click to trigger menu command.

Current code is CEP plugin and ExtendScript for supporting multiple Adobe apps.

It does not have Control Surface support. I understand that gives much more capability.

InDesign's app.menuActions() is simple, but very powerful for this usage.

// InDesign object duplicate

var ma1 = app.menuActions.itemByID(270);  // copy

var ma2 = app.menuActions.itemByID(271);  // paste

if(ma1.enabled) ma1.invoke();

if(ma2.enabled) ma2.invoke();

I think AfterEffects has similar.

Keyboard shortcut is an option, but it cause many issues on localized environment.

So API access is much more preferred.

Thank you,

Naoki
