View Actions in Button Mode

In the Actions palette (found under the Window menu), you can record, edit, and play automated functions to speed up your work. In the Actions palette's standard view, every step of an action is visible and can be turned on and off. The other possible view is Button Mode (chosen from the palette's flyout menu). In Button Mode, you only see the name of the action and its keyboard shortcut, if one has been assigned. So you can use this display mode to either click on an action to play it, or to remind yourself of the F-key shortcut. To return to standard view, go back to the palette's flyout menu and deselect Button Mode. (Note: If you've assigned a modifier key to your shortcut, such as the Shift key, this will not be reflected in the Button Mode for some reason. You'll only see the Function key listed.)
