Illustrator CS6 align objects keyboard shortcut


Question

Is it possible to create a custom keyboard shortcut in Adobe Illustrator CS6 on OS X 10.8.5 to align and/or distribute objects (center/left/right/etc)? I know I can open the Align window, but I would like to apply the alignment with a shortcut.

Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts doesn't provide an option and it isn't clear to me how, if possible, to write my own in a keyboard shortcut file (e.g. /Users/user/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS6 Settings/en_US/custom.kys).

Accepted Answer

I don't believe you can. There's no way to "write your own shortcut file". If the shortcut is not available in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts... then that command/element is not available.

You could use scripting but an easier route would be to create an action (or collection of actions) and assign an F-key shortcut to the action(s).
