Hi,
I'm looking for a way to set a keyboard shortcut to hit the little play button in the actions panel.
I know I can use the function keys to play different actions, and I also know I can use scripts to bypass some of the steps, but neither of these actually resume the current action which is what I'm looking for. There are also ways to achieve this outside of illustrator, but I'd rather not involve those on my work computer.
Thanks in advance!

are you ok using Auto Hot Key? you could send click commands to a specific screen x,y coordinates, assuming the location of the play button is fixed.

Thank you for the reply, I haven't used Auto Hot Key mostly because I find myself moving or resizing the Actions panel frequently so the play button doesn't stay still. I'm a little concerned about accidentally using hot key to delete an action or something like that, but I'll probably give in and try it out, especially if there isn't another way.
