Hi - Not sure if this is the appropriate pathway - but is there a way to get a shortcut key added for redacting a page? Currently there is one for the redaction tool but we redact large amounts of whole pages and would love a shortcut to redact the current page and still use the menu to select a grouping.

Just change:

page: 0

to:

page: this.pageNum

However, be advised this code doesn’t actually apply the redaction markup, it just creates it.

You can create a 1-click toolbar button that runs this script:

var cb=this.getPageBox("Crop",this.pageNum);
var rct=[cb[0],cb[3],cb[2],cb[1]];
var left=rct[0];
var right=rct[2];
var top=rct[3];
var bot=rct[1];
var qd=[[left, top, right, top, left, bot, right, bot]];

this.addAnnot({
page:this.pageNum,
type:"Redact",
quads:qd
})

I have a (paid for) tool that creates toolbar buttons:
