Too hidden scripts! Is there another way to access?

There are scripts that I use on a regular basis. Clicking on through Run / Scripts / folder name / name of Script every time it's quite tedious. What is the best way to place scripts elsewhere, or access through keyboard shortcuts?

Thank you!

While it is true that the scripts inside an action will be lost on reboot, if you can live with only a set of actions that the following will work:

Assign scripts to several actions with "insert the menu item", once done save the action defined in the popup panel.  Went you launch Illustrator, first open a document (the list of scripts and built internally), and then select "replace actions" in the actions drop and select the file that you saved. Your actions will be restored with links to scripts intact.  If you change your actions you will obviously back up again before restarting.  Tested on CS4 and CS6 on Windows Vista/7.

An alternative if you have a Wacom tablet Professional (Intuos) is to assign Menu Popup/Radial/HUD to a button on the stylus, then your scripts on the menu items in this menu, or directly on the the expresskeys on the tablet itself:

' Use the type "hits" and enter ' Alt + F R [first letter of the name of the script] ", for example to run a script called"test.jsx"to the root of the scripts folder, type 'Alt + F R T.  If you have several starting scripts by the same letter, adding the character '&' file name will set the keyboard shortcut letter.  for example you & st .jsx will always display 'test' in the menu of illustrator scripts, but 'Alt + F R S' it will activate. It's for windows, of course, not sure that shortcuts keyboard on Mac.

You can assign the feather keys, the menu and the expresskeys on for each application in the control panel of Wacom, so it can be configured for Illustrator, i.e. my side switch of pen is right/Middle-click in most programs and Popup Menu/space bar (for easy Pan) in Illustrator, and I installed the menus different items for different applications.
