Automator Action to Launch Sketch Toolbox from Sketch 3

This is an Automator action that I use to launch Sketch Toolbox from within Sketch 3.

You can use this in the following way:

  1. Download the Sketch Toolbox.workflow and save it to ~/Library/Services
  2. Create an application-specific keyboard shortcut to trigger the service

You can create the keyboard shortcut easily enough:

  • Open ‘Keyboard’ in ‘System Preferences’
  • Select the ‘Shortcuts’ tab
  • Add a new ‘App Shortcut’
  • Set ‘Application’ to ‘Sketch’
  • Enter the name you used for your service in ‘Menu Title’ (e.g. ‘Sketch Toolbox’)
  • Set the keyboard shortcut you would like, I used cmd + shift + ,

Once you've done that, when you press the configured keyboard shortcut while inside Sketch, Sketch Toolbox will launch.
