Actions - More Function Keys

New Here ,
Feb 25, 2020 Feb 25, 2020

I'm thinking of adding about 150 actions to photoshop, for my daily work. Is it somehow possible to assign more shortcuts then just F1-F12?

I think it's not possible in Photoshop, but is there any plugin or workaround to do this? 

 

Thanks

You can reference the action using a single line of script code, then assign a custom keyboard shortcut to the script.

Wow, that's a really clever solution!  I found the OPs question wondering the same thing as him - is there a way to have virtual function keys (F20-200) that can be programmed to actions, and then mapped onto third party hardware (game keyboards, button sticks, etc.)

 

If other people try Stephen Marsh's answer, it's very easy to copy his script (though choose one of the three options he gives you for calling the name of the action and the action set) and set a script for each action.  However, to have them available in the script menu (so you can add a keyboard shortcut), you'll need to save your script in Photoshop's presets/scripts folder.  

 

Thank you Stephen Marsh!

Necro but the scripts Mashy provided only works the first time I click on the script and then stop working.
Also, how's not a default feature to be able to add shortcuts to Actions in 2023?????

You can utilize the numeric keypad and also add Shift to your shortcuts to double your Fkeys
