It sounds like FastScripts is a neat application; however, if you’re just looking to move your application scripts up and assign hot keys, there may be some cheaper options available.

As already mentioned, it’s possible to have the Apple Scripts Menu show applications at the top of the list.

Additionally, you can setup a QuickSilver (free and wonderful) Trigger to launch an AppleScript on hotkey.

You can just change one setting to make the Script Menu show it’s “Current Application” scripts at the top:

Script Menu?¢‚Ä†‚ÄôOpen AppleScript Utility

Then, in the window that appears, make sure that both Checkboxes in the bottom section are checked, and choose

Show application scripts at: ?¢‚Ç¨¬¢ top.
