Panther has a cool feature that allows you to set keyboard shortcuts for pretty much any application, including iTunes. However, one thing I discovered is that you can set keyboard shortcuts to the AppleScripts in your iTunes Scripts Menu. Simply follow the instructions in Mac Help for setting keyboard shortcuts (search for "Setting custom keyboard shortcuts for applications"). Instead of entering the name of a menu command, enter the name of one of your scripts in iTunes Scripts Menu.

10.3: Create iTunes AppleScripts shortcuts
I haven't written any AppleScript before but I would really like a keyboard shortcut to move the cursor to the Search Bar in iTunes and clear /hightlight whatever is in there. Sort of like Command-L in Safari or Command-Option-F in Safari for the Google bar.

After a quick test, even thought there's no menuitem for it, Cmd-Option-F brings the cursor to the search field. It doesn't clear the stuff there, but that's easy enough to do.
10.3: Create iTunes AppleScripts shortcuts
On the topic of hot-keys/shortcuts, has anyone found a way to execute a command that is not located in any application menu? I noticed that if I create a hot-key in the sys prefs pane for an applescript located in my ~/Library/Scripts folder and enable the "Script Menu", my script is listed with the shortcut key assignment.

Upon further experimentation, this seems to work for any menu item in global system menu. I created a hot-key for "Away". Sure enough after quitting and restarting iChat, the menu item "Away" in the global menu now displays the shortcut/hot-key. So close... but it doesn't seem to work.

I usually do a quick command-option-F, command-A to enter the Search Bar and then select all. As soon as I start typing, it replaces the current search string. |
