So.. use Script Action palette to call my_script:
1- Make folder
2- Make layer Script Action and attribute a shortcut Key (F2 for example).
3- In Script Action menu (at top right corner) use Insert Command
4- write in dialogbox my_script (if your press the search button, it should be found, ** for me, first time illustrator crash, but after i have called/running manually my_script and remake this step and it's Ok**)
5 - Close/End Script Action
to try, push F2

flipping through layers shortcut in photoshop
Scroll Through The Layers
To scroll through the layers in the Layers palette, hold down your Alt (Win) / Option (Mac) key and use the left and right bracket keys ( [ and ] ). The right bracket key scrolls upward through the layers, and the left bracket key scrolls down.
Just need to learn how to do this in Illustrator and Flash
source and more layer shortcuts...

Curly Quotes
My Macintosh (using New York font) makes quotation marks angled only one way. How can I produce the opposing quotation mark?
Here's how to produce "curly" quotes from the Macintosh keyboard:
character | these keys |
| Option-[ | |
| Option-] | |
| Option-Shift-[ | |
| Option-Shift-] |

Obscure Illustrator Shortcuts
- New Layer:
The first, and by far the most important one, is the “New Layer…” keyboard command (Command-L). How this one eluded me for so long is a major mystery, but man am I glad I found it. It seems so obvious now that I know what it is, but the odd thing is that it doesn’t show up in the Layers palette flyout menu. Normally an enabled shortcut will reveal itself in the menu item. Maybe this is only on OS X. Add the Option key to open the layer Options dialog box before creating the layer. Bonus: add a new layer underneath the selected layer by Command-Option clicking the new layer icon at the bottom of the Layers palette. - Lock Others:
We all know about the Command-2 shortcut to Lock an object, and Command-Option-2 to unlock all. The new coolness is the ability to lock all the other items that aren’t selected using Command-Option-Shift-2. You can also Lock All Artwork Above the selected object with Command-Shift-2, but you’ll have to add that shortcut manually. - Hide/Hide Others:
This is one of those features that I wasn’t even aware of, let alone know about a keyboard command for it. Seems you can Hide a selected object using Command-3, and Show All using Command-Option-3 (a nice analogue to the Lock items). Same applies here for Hide All Others: Command-Option-Shift-3. This could be very handy.I know some of you are wondering why I left out Command-Shift-3 for a Hide All Above, similar to Lock All Above. Well, it seems OS X uses that one for screenshots, and while you can turn it off in the Keyboard & Mouse System Preferences, it’s something non-standard. If you want to turn it on, just disable the shortcut in the System Prefs and then go back and add it as a custom shortcut in Illustrator. - Send To Current Layer
Well, this is another one that has no default keyboard command assigned to it, so you’ll have to make your own here. I chose Command-Shift-, since it was similar to the Send Forward/Send Backward key commands (Command-[ or ] respectively). - Highlight Font (in Character Palette):
Here’s another one I just found… been looking for this one for ages! Command-Option-Shift-M (or F) to highlight the font name field. If someone out there in Adobe world is reading this – add this to InDesign pronto. It would be very handy there as well.
opacity and blend mode shortcuts
I applied a shortcut like in photoshop in the numeric keypad : 0=100% opacity, 1=10% opacity, 2=20% opacity ... and
Shift + or - to Next blend mode and Previous blend mode.
