Erwin-- 

There's not a way to do this inside InDesign (yet), but, since scripts are Windows executable files (.vbs or .exe) you can use the standard Windows method for assigning a shortcut--setting the shortcut key of an item on the Start menu. 

This isn't ideal, as a.) many shortcuts are already taken by InDesign, and b.) these shortcuts are system-wide. But it does work. 

Macro utilities, such as QuicKeys, offer another approach. 

Thanks, 

Ole
