I have a bunch of scripts and tools in my context menu, which I want to use via the keyboard instead of the mouse. I can't remember all those keyboard shortcuts I assigned to the menu items and I am running out of new shortcuts ;-)

If you want keyboard shortcuts, you might like to try TypeIt4Me. The latest version allows you to assign AppleScripts to any abbreviation you want. Not just F-keys or other typical keyboard shortcuts (most of which are difficult to remember).

Thanks Bill.
I know TypeIt4Me and it's a great app, although I must confess, that I am a die hard quicksilver user, which allows me to do the things you described and a few others.
There are some tools which deal with keyboard shortcuts / navigation, but I haven't found one, which allows me to open the context menu for the current selected item without the mouse.
that's what I am looking for. quicksilver comes very near, but isn't the same.
Now at least it works in the finder (I'd like my text editor to do the same some day).
As I think there must be a simple error in my script, I was interested how to get that selected line of the finder window, without repeating through all and check its selected property, which looks cumbersome to me.



Best regards
