Hi Philip,
Dictionary shortcut.
Did you ever see Bill Briggs, "under the hood" tweaks?

Okay, now that you've got the duplicate of the file, launch ResEdit.

In the open dialog you should select the copy of Script Editor you made when
you started.
When you open the resources,

Take a look at your own panel of resource icons and find the one called
"MENU".
Now double-click on the "MENU" resource. You'll see a bigger window open
that has menu resources in it. Each one has a number below it, and each
shows an expanded or partially expanded menu item. The one you are
interested in is number 129, which shows the partly expanded File menu.
When you get to this stage, you're ready for the main event. Double-click on
the resource that's circled in the above screen shot,

and this will open up yet another window. This is the window in which you
will do your editing.
You want to make a change

so to do that just click on the words "Open Dictionary...".

You'll note two things in this screen shot. One is that the term "Open
Dictionary..." has been underlined (this indicates that it's the item in the
menu you are about to edit). The second is that there is a red circle around
the text Cmd-key: and the small box that comes after it. This is the only
place where you will make a change.
You'll note that the box is currently empty, but we're going to put
something in it before you're done, the only question is, "What?"

>> Thanks Bill !
Hope that inspires! It does work on AS 1.8.3, OS 9.1
Regards, Ian
PS
I tried to get Show Result & Open Event Log to be open by default,
but no luck.

I'd rather you spend the time on other things myself. For instance,

could you add something like <Command-Shift-O> for the "Open
