> My question is if there is a keyboard shortcut to open a recently closed preview file? The following was tested in **macOS Catalina** 10.15.6 and worked for me while **Preview** has focus. (No third-party _applications_ needed.) If you just want to open the most recently closed document in **Preview**, then the following _example_ **AppleScript** _code_ used in a **Run AppleScript** _action_ in an **Automator** _Service/Quick Action_ and assigned a _keyboard shortcut_ in **System Preferences** > **Keyboard** > **Shortcuts** > **Services** can do it. - In the **Run AppleScript** _action_ in the **Automator** _Service/Quick Action_, replace the default **AppleScript** _code_ with the following _example_ **AppleScript** _code_: <!-- language: lang-applescript --> tell application "System Events" to ¬ click first menu item of ¬ menu 1 of menu item "Open Recent" of ¬ menu 1 of menu bar item "File" of ¬ menu bar 1 of application process "Preview" [![enter image description here][1]][1] --- If you want to choose from the Open Recent menu in **Preview**, then the following _example_ **AppleScript** _code_ used in a **Run AppleScript** _action_ in an **Automator** _Service/Quick Action_ _workflow_ and assigned a _keyboard shortcut_ in **System Preferences** > **Keyboard** > **Shortcuts** > **Services** can do it. - In the **Run AppleScript** _action_ in the **Automator** _Service/Quick Action_, replace the default **AppleScript** _code_ with the following _example_ **AppleScript** _code_: <!-- language: lang-applescript --> tell application "System Events" to ¬ set OpenRecentMenuList to ¬ get name of menu items of ¬ menu 1 of menu item "Open Recent" of ¬ menu 1 of menu bar item "File" of ¬ menu bar 1 of application process "Preview" if the number of items in OpenRecentMenuList is greater than 2 then set OpenRecentList to items 1 thru -3 of OpenRecentMenuList else display dialog "The Open Recent menu is empty." buttons {"OK"} default button 1 return end if set menuItem to (choose from list OpenRecentList) as string if menuItem is "false" then return tell application "System Events" to ¬ click menu item menuItem of ¬ menu 1 of menu item "Open Recent" of ¬ menu 1 of menu bar item "File" of ¬ menu bar 1 of application process "Preview" [![enter image description here][2]][2] --- I assigned the following _keyboard shortcut_ to the **Automator** _Service/Quick Action_ in: **System Preferences** > **Keyboard** > **Shortcuts** > **Services** [![enter image description here][3]][3] --- **Note:** The usual security caveats apply. Permissions will need to be granted as prompted and or required in: **System Preferences** > **Security & Privacy** > **Privacy** > --- <sub>The _example_ **AppleScript** _code_ is just that and does not contain any _error handling_ as may be appropriate. The onus is upon the user to add any _error handling_ as may be appropriate, needed or wanted.</sub> [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/Znj0S.jpg [2]: https://i.sstatic.net/wTld2.jpg [3]: https://i.sstatic.net/nNmw2.jpg
