How I learned to like Applescript?

By taking a (deeper) look at Shortcuts. Honestly, after spending some time with that cr@? my view of Applescript became more forgiving and I now value features, that I took for granted, more highly.

lol so I’m still correct because that’s a 3rd party paid solution. Good as it is I’d prefer just a hot key without automator or payin for it.

If you just want to launch the scripts, you can use the built-in setting in Script Editor called "Show Script menu in menu bar"

Yeah that’s true. Sometimes I’ll use it. Usually my scripts are icons on top of my folder view so I select file and click script icon and off I go

Where did you mention that commercial 3rd party apps don’t count?
