keyboard navigation of pantone swatches

[el_bob]

Hello all,

I'm just coming back to illustrator after a long time away. One thing that would be really incredible for my productivity would be to be able to navigate the pantone swatches with my keyboard. Bonus points if the navigation applies the color so I can see colors in place as i search for the right one.

Is there a way to do that?

Cheers

Not very elegant, but you could add al the Pantone Swatches to your Swatches panel, create an Live Paint object and use the arrow keys to navigate them with the Live Paint Bucket (K)

thanks, useful is more important than elegant anyway!
