Running Script With Cmnd-* shortcuts

[stealth162]

Is there any way to identify scripts with a certain keyboard shortcut? I know that if you make the visible in the script menu it assigns a Cmnd-# shortcut to the script. Is there anyway to not have your scripts visible in that menu and still assign a shortcut to them?

You cannot do this with Filemaker out of the box. You may be able to add a third party plugin to do what you want.

Well I woudn't say it as firmly as Laker_42, since we have cmnd and the numberkeys. This will give us 10 script-initiations, that then can be set to sense the modifier keys, putting 16 combinations on top of each of the 10. But how convenient is that to remember??? But when the scheme is established could it be remapped by an application ($$$$) like:

Another cheaper option is to make:

...Run compiled Applescripts interacting with your filemaker application.

Thanks for your help. Bummer that filemaker doesn't allow you to map the scripts to specific shortcuts.

In my solution I have the Cmnd-# scripts run based upon the present layout. This allows me to "assign" buttons to 10 different short cuts. The user tells me which buttons are the most important to access from a given layout. I add a -# to the button to remind them what short cuts are available on which layout.
