Custom button or hotkey for Plugin in PSP

Post by kit400 »

Every time I want to run a Plugin I choose in the menu:
Effects - Plugins - Plugin groupe - Plugin name
It is too long!
Is it possible to create a button in the toolbar or assign a hot key to this action?

Thank you.

I want the same thing but have had no luck finding it. I tried dragging the menu item to the toolbar but it was non-functioning from there. The best I came up with was to drag the Plugins link to the very top of the Effects menu where it's more convenient. I moved "User defined" and "Effect Browser" to the bottom since I never use those. I also added a "Repeat Last Plugin" button to my toolbar.

I've often wanted the same thing. My solution was to create a script to call my plugin of choice and then bind the script and add it to a toolbar. I have only done this for favorite/frequently used plugins.

I've realized it now by AHK (autohotkey) script.
Let us ask the developers to include it in the new release TODO )

Impossible as in difficult or just impossible?

Because I know you can assign a hotkey to a bound script.
