I've got AHK working proper now, and it is a true time saver! I wish Illustrator would do this itself, but I'm glad to have this shortcut. Thanks again 🙂

I tried out AutoHotkey and, after a bit of a learning curve, I'm able to get a keyboard shortcut to click on the correct spot with the play button. I was hoping this would work, but not quite. Normally when I click play, it runs through the list of actions until it hits a stopping point. When AHK clicks play, it only advances the action by one step. I'll keep exploring, but this is quite the challenge.

That's exactly right, I've saved different actions into different files to organize them better, but having just one file is much easier to keep updated. Using the file->scripts works, but it's a handful of clicks to get to a script, then once you choose one, the menu goes away and you have to start at file again. Maybe I could open file explorer to the folder to keep them at hand, but that also seems a bit extra. Thanks for the replies!

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.

Hi, I have a lot of Actions and a lot of Scripts and would like for them to be more accessible. If there was a way to have a second Actions window or a Scripts window at all, that would be great! Thanks in advance!

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!
