Convert Actions (ATN) to text file

Googling I saw it used to be possible to convert actions (ATN files) to text

It seems I add to select the action then hold opt+md on my Mac and in the Actions button I would receive a message telling me SAVE AS with text option

Is this still available and if not any ways to do  it?

Thanks

Correct answer Jeff Arola

Press Ctrl+Alt (Windows) or Command+Option (Mac OS) when you

choose the Save Actions command to save the actions in a text file.

    Appears to work here with photoshop cc 2019 20.0.7 running under windows 10 x64 1903.

     

    Make sure you click on one of the the action set folders before saving.
