Run Script with Keyboard Shortcut?

Hello, 

I've successfully created an AppleScript in the Capture One scripts folder and can run it from the Scripts menu just fine. 

However, it does not show up as an option to assign a shortcut to in the Keyboard Shortcuts editor.

The only scripting items I see for Shortcut assignment are:

• Update Scripts Menu
• Open Scripts Folder
• Open Scripting Dictionary

Why wouldn't my script be listed in that menu for assignment to a shortcut as well?  

Yes I've restarted CaptureOne.

I just need to execute this script with some keyboard combination from within CaptureOne... seems like the fundamentals are there to do what I want but there's something I'm missing.

  Use you Mac system preferences.  Open System Preferences and select keyboard.   Inside keyboard pick the Shortcuts tab.  Select App Shortcuts from the list on the left and add an app shortcut for Capture One by clicking on the + button.

  The shortcut is matched to a menu path were different menu levels are indicated by -> without spaces.  Example: I have a shortcut to invert the levels tool which I use to convert scanned negatives to positives.  The shortcut looks like the following and is assigned to ^L.

  Adjustments->Styles->User Presets->Levels->Invert

  The menu path you should use will look something like the following.  It should work, but I haven't actually tested it.

  Scripts->Name Of Script
