View listing of ALL Actions Shortcuts?

I use a ton of function-key shortcuts (called "Options" in the pallette menu) to play my Actions. I'd like to see all of them listed – similar to the way you can view and edit Keyboard Shortcuts in general (⌥⇧⌘K). Anyone know of a way to do this?

Note: I'm aware of a trick to save a text file of all Actions in the pallette (hold ⌥⇧⌘, while clicking Save Actions... from the pallette's fly-out menu). I wonder if there's a similar trick to save a text file of Actions Options?

You can assign F key shortcuts to actions and they will be displayed as shortcuts on the Action in the Actions Palett. Action Fkey shortcuts will override Photoshop Fkeys shortcuts for Photoshop commands. So if you Assign a F7 shortcut to an action that Action Shortcut will override Photoshop F7 shortcut for menu Window>Layers, F7 will still be listed in the Window menu as a shortcut for Layers however the Action with the F7 shortcut will Play the Layers Palette will not toggle. To Assign a Fkey Shortcut to an action double right click on the Action in the Action palette to open the Actions Options dialog. So its posible to have 32 Action with Shortcuts. You can save Action sets with shortcuts. When you load the Action sets that have Shortcuts assigned the shortcuts will override Photoshop's shortcuts.

Thanks for the response, but I already know how to assign shortcuts; my question concerns seeing a listing of all the F key shortcuts I've already assigned, in one comprehensive list. Here's the reason I would like this functionality...

...Let's say I want to assign ⇧⌘F1 to an action. If that key combination is already assigned to another action, it is greyed out in the Actions Options dialog. The only way to use that key combo on the new action is to find the action that currently uses it, and unassign it so it's available to re-assign. I have A LOT of actions/action sets, so it's a chore to find the old action with that key combo in order to remove it. So a comprehensive list, or a search function would save me a ton of time.

Thanks again

They are your Action Sets and your Action. You record them and assign shortcuts and save the Action sets. You should bookkeep a list for yourself. If you do not have such a list. If you save all your action sets to a common folder you may be able to write a Photoshop Script to process all your Action sets to create the list you want. In X's XTools package there are some Photoshop Scripts that process Actions sets. You may want to look at these scripts to learn how to Process Actions sets using Photoshop scripting. So you can create the list you want via a Photoshop script you write. Adobe does not supply such a tool.
