You can use autohotkey. I prefer version 2.
Download autohotkey, unzip, create near AutoHotkey64.exe file AutoHotkey64.ahk with this code:
#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
#SingleInstance Force
#HotIf WinActive("ahk_exe Illustrator.exe")
!1:: aiScript("script1")
!2:: aiScript("script2")
aiScript(name) {
static app := "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 2023\Support Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe"
, path := "c:\Users\user\Documents\aiScripts"
if FileExist(script := name)

You can use Actions to create shortcut for your script.
Simply from Action window
> New Action
> Name it > set your shortcut > then choose your script
> from the 3 Dashes on the top right of the Actions menu
> Insert Menu Item
> Type the name of your script (same as the naming of the jsx file)
> Find (by starting typing a little part of it it and might work, be sure it finds your script not other command)
> Ok
> Congrats 🥳
if you forget to set the shortcut when creating your action, you can do it like this:
> Select your new Action in the Action window
> go the 3 Dashes top right
> Action Options
> set the shortcut you wanted.
> Congrats 🥳
If you are using an Elgato Streamdeck after March 2025 it is possible to use the "action" technique but instead of assigning a hotkey, you can now assign an action directly into the Elgato Streamdeck as a button.
EDIT - ONLY FOR PHOTOSHOP. Realised this is an Illustrator question. Oops.
Here is an example that I added to one of my Streamdeck button screens so that I could quickly run a photoshop action after editing a file in acrobat (acrobat would launch photoshop and I could run the script using my Elgato Streamdeck button).
Unsure if this also works with the Logitech MX Creative Console - if it does, I'll edit this post once I'm at home (currently at the office)
