I have a script that only requires selecting an element, and I use it many times throughout the day. I know I can run it from the player, but I was wondering if it’s possible to assign it a keyboard shortcut. ---

Anything is possible, but depending on what the Dynamo graph does you might be better off converting it to a new means of execution (i.e. an add-in) as the speed via player will likely match the speed via keybinding. ---

Hi @yinodo2737 , It’s been a while since I worked specifically on this, if I remember correctly, using [PyRevit](https://discourse.pyrevitlabs.io/) you can also add buttons that directly point at Dynamo graphs, and (if I remember correctly here as well) you can make those also have key binds. But maybe this is a bit of a convoluted way to do this. Yet, I am 100% sure that what you’re asking is possible, except I cannot give you a good direction, but if you Google it/ search on the forum I’m pretty sure you’ll figure out a way. ---

Ah yea likely Orchestra instead of [PyRevit](https://discourse.pyrevitlabs.io/) 🙂 ---

Yes, I’ve used Orchestra for Dynamo, and it does allow you to assign keyboard shortcuts to specific scripts, which is very useful. However, it’s a paid solution. Alternatively, I would recommend [pyRevit](https://discourse.pyrevitlabs.io/), which is free and also provides flexible options for running scripts, including custom buttons and shortcuts. ---

Hi @_Vijay probably right, but last time i checked it should be a part of the unpaid option i dont use that in the moment…so…and about [pyrevit](https://discourse.pyrevitlabs.io/) i dont use it…so not really sure 😉 but for sure possible one way or another…as we say 😉 😉 ---

With Relay it is also possible you have to assign an key board shortcut to the script. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/0/8/08bc78c2c2b69b1156fe34c034a7f3f2d16dee4c.png) Thanks for the idea I did not think about it earlier. ---
