How to add a Keyboard shortcut for 'Distribute Space'?

[nirt87523603]

I use the "Horiontal/Vertical Sistribute Space" option a lot, and I want to create a keyboard shortcut for it.

However, it seems that these 2 options, don't have a Menu Command in Illustrator, on the 'distribute objects' options have a menu command:

And so in the Keyboard Shortcuts menu, they can't be assigned with a shortcut. Any idea how to solve this??

Appologies for all the spelling mistakes... No 'edit post' option??

Since you need to designate a key object and specify a distance to use distribute, how would you envisage a shortcut working? There is no method at the moment, but perhaps you could write a uservoice request with those details:

One can designate a key object, but one doesn't have to do it.

So, in the meantime I'd recommend to create an action and assign a keyboard shortcut to it.

So you can! Strange to realise that you've been using a tool in just one particular way this whole time.
