I have zero scripting skills.
I am looking for someone who might be interested in this small side project.
I am looking for a Java Script (so i can run it on MAC & PC)
Description:
Image that I had 100 photoshop actions that I want to be able to activate quickly but because PS
only allows the user to use the Function keys to activate them. My thought is that a Java Script might help with this.
Sample Logic:
#1. If "K" pressed
#2. Run java script
#3. java script then runs an action.

You don't need a script for this. Actions can play other actions. Create an action that plays all the actions you want to apply to the image then assign that new action a keyboard shortcut.

great idea Mike.
But what if I wanted a "hot key" for each of the 100 actions?
Put another way, these 100 actions are not related to each other and I might want to run #33, #45 & #65 on the first image I am editing. But on the next image it might only by #33.
Does that explain why I am thinking a script is a good approach?
