About ExtendScript Hotkey Manager
ExtendScript Hotkey Manager lets Adobe users record and assign custom hotkeys to ExtendScript scripts and JSX files, enabling quick execution of automation scripts or simple commands via keyboard shortcuts. The extension includes a built-in script editor for modifying scripts within the tool. It works with any Adobe application that supports ExtendScript, specifically After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Audition on version 23.0 and later. In Premiere Pro, hotkeys can be mapped to Lumetri Color parameters such as contrast, exposure, shadows, highlights, and saturation. The tool requires administrative privileges and, on macOS, accessibility access to read hotkeys. If those permissions are restricted, users may need to contact their system administrator to enable them.
