title: Is there a way to call an existing shortcut in Premiere Pro through extend script?
body: <p>I'm busy building some automation scripts for Premiere Pro CC 2019 and would like to do a few things that appear not to have methods as described in the API documentation found here: <a href="https://buildmedia.readthedocs.org/media/pdf/premiere-scripting-guide/latest/premiere-scripting-guide.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://buildmedia.readthedocs.org/media/pdf/premiere-scripting-guide/latest/premiere-scripting-guide.pdf</a></p>
  
  <p>A lot of the functionality is already doable with existing Premiere Pro shortcuts, and it would be great if I could leverage these existing shortcuts. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to call these shortcuts from Extendscript? </p>
  
  <p>I can't seem to get a handler to send shortcut keys to.</p>
  
  <p>Something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>app.executeShortcut({"keyCode": 22,"ctrlKey": true})
  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>would be great.</p>
