I am trying to create a keyboard shortcut action for Preview, namely Draw and Sketch. However, they are are the NON-menued items, which means can't get it done in System Preference I see someone done it from inspiration, it is possible, but when I try to follow alone, here is my code so far and please help me complete this. here are the action.

Here is the error I am facing now

after some researches, does the UI/accessibility inspector help?

activate application "Preview"

        delay 0.4

    set the menuItem to "Draw"

    tell application "System Events"

        try

            tell application process "Preview" to click radio button menuItem of radio group 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1

        on error

            try

                tell application process "Preview" to click radio button menuItem of radio group 1 of window 1

            on error errorM



                display dialog errorM



            end try

        end try

    end tell

ideally, trying to make it to work when all bars are hidden,
but if not possible. can we make it to work vwith mark up bar is shown. as below.

This work for me using the latest version of macOS Mojave

tell application "Preview" to activate

repeat while application "Preview" is not running

    delay 0.2

end repeat

tell application "System Events"

    try

        click menu item "Show Markup Toolbar" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1 of application process "Preview"

    end try

    delay 0.5

    try

        click menu item "Show Toolbar" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1 of application process "Preview"

    end try

    delay 0.5

    repeat while not (exists of toolbar 1 of window 1 of application process "Preview")

        delay 0.2

    end repeat

    set description2 to a reference to every checkbox of toolbar 1 of window 1 of application process "Preview"

    set theCheckboxes to description of description2



    if item 1 of theCheckboxes is "Draw" then

        set checkBoxDraw to 1

    else

        set checkBoxDraw to 2

    end if

    if item 1 of theCheckboxes is "Sketch" then

        set checkBoxSketch to 1

    else

        set checkBoxSketch to 2

    end if

    delay 1

    -- Below, insert either  checkBoxSketch for "Sketch" or checkBoxDraw for "Draw" 

    click checkbox checkBoxDraw of toolbar 1 of window 1 of application process "Preview"

end tell

-- without these next following lines, the toolbar  "Draw" or "Sketch" do not appear to be selected

tell application "Preview" to tell window 1

    set visible to false

    set visible to true

end tell

delay 3
