It’s becoming difficult to remember all shortcuts when you use more than one program, and I know you do!

News: ScriptUI for dummies by Peter Kahrel [PDF]

At last! Real ScriptUI manual is alive thanks to Peter Kahrel, all that wrapped up into search able PDF with example pictures on the side.

Here is part of announcement from Peter’s page:

ScriptUI is a module in the Adobe CS family (starting in CS3) with which dialogs can be added to scripts written in JavaScript. The module is included in each version of the ExtendScript Toolkit, and dialogs written in it can be used in scripts targetted at all CS applications. Though this guide deals only with InDesign as a target application, virtually everything covered here applies to scripts written for all CS apps too. This guide is for scriptUI only: it is assumed that you are more or less proficient in JavaScript.
