add the possibility to add a shortcut in paraview to open directly the Run script window to select the corresponding script we want to run.

Should be pretty simple to add, the best way would be to have a run script somewhere in the menus.

if you mean to’link’ a specific script to somewhere in the menu: i thought more in a faster way when we are dealing with customs scripts.
if what you mean is having ‘run script’ as button in the menu, yes i am with you, i actually was surprised that it was not there reason why i created this feature request.
should i make an issue on the git when the post for the feature request is accepted?
