SE 2 Beta implements "application services". In these services
there is a utility for executing a script command such as a math
calculation like "2+2". In Apple's documentation, I see a keyboard
equivalent of "Command-Shift-*" . On my PB G4, which does not
have an extended keyboard, this command is read as
"Command-Shift-8". I'm guessing this is a bug, or is there some way
to key it in as requested.
Select the script below and do Services>..Run as Applescript
set f to "" & (path to me) & "Contents:Info.plist"
tell app "Finder" to open file f
Then follow these instructions

If you want to use the service menu "Make new Applescript" with a
shortkey, you can add it manualy.
Open the Script Editor 2 package , then Contents/info.plist. Open
this file with Property List Editor and click on the key
"NSServices", then click on the first item of this Array (Number 0).
Create a new dictionary called "NSKeyEquivalent" and a string in
this dictionary called "default". fill the value for this key with
your Key Equivalent. Personaly, I just typed "A" without quotes. The
Shortkey is in this case : SHIFT-APPLE-A.
Of course you have to check if there is not any conflict with other services.
If you don't have Property List Editor, here is the xml part I added :
<key>NSKeyEquivalent</key>
<dict>
<key>default</key>
<string>A</string>
</dict>
If you want, you can also translate the title of the menu item into
your favorite language if you modify the key <default> of
<NSMenuItem>
Voila, voila...
Then log out /in, and wait 30 seconds. You should see the new
shortkey in front of the menu item.
I think there is another good solution for displaying and capturing
Applescripts from mailing lists but I will talk about it in a
separate message :-)
