keyboard shortcuts for applescripts

I guess Paul Berkowitz is too busy to spend much time in here. So let me
re-post his answer:

From Paul Berkowitz:

Append to the name of the script (after the ".scpt" if using the extension)
a space, then a backslash "\", then one or more of the following:

m (= Command)
c (= Control)
o (= Option)
s (= Shift)

(Option and Shift cannot be used on their own, since they're standard typing
keys, only in combination with Command and/or Control);

then any A-Z upper-case letter (just one), representing the lower-case
letter you'll type.

Then place the script in the Word Script Menu Items folder the MUD folder,
and it will immediately appear in the Word script menu with the keyboard
code translated into standard characters for representing Command, Option,
etc.

In Word, there are further complications, since you need to avoid existing
keyboard shortcuts. (I haven't tested to see which rules if you don't.) You
can check those in Tools/Customize/Keyboard.

Cheers


How do I assign keyboard shortcuts for applescripts that I create in
Word 2008?
