Is there a shortcut to the preferences for proportional grid?
I find myself changing the proportional grid a lot. It’s tedious to have to go to File / Preferences / Grids and Guides every time. But there seems to be no shortcut to get to that page of settings quickly. Ideally, it would be nice if an Edit option were in the pop up menu when you click on Choose Grid and Guide options.
Is there some hidden shortcut I’m missing?
TIA!

This script should be able to set it for you after a prompt.
{
var input = Window.prompt("Enter the desired subdivisions for Proportional grid (H,V)", "8,6");
var dims = dim.split(",");
if (parseFloat(dims[0])>0) app.preferences.savePrefAsFloat("Main Pref Section v2", "Pref_ANIMGRID_CELLS_HORIZ",dims[0]);
if (parseFloat(dims[1])>0) app.preferences.savePrefAsFloat("Main Pref Section v2", "Pref_ANIMGRID_CELLS_VERT v2",dims[1]);

I thank you for that. But where do I type that in?

Sorry! You should save that script as a text-file with a .jsx extension inside of the scripts folder best to the app.
Then run the script from the file -> scripts menu.
Scripts can also be assigned a keyboard shortcut in the key command editor

Thank you. I did that but get this error.

Oops, second line was wrong:
{
var input = Window.prompt("Enter the desired subdivisions for Proportional grid (H,V)", "8,6");
var dims = input.split(",");
if (parseFloat(dims[0])>0) app.preferences.savePrefAsFloat("Main Pref Section v2", "Pref_ANIMGRID_CELLS_HORIZ",dims[0]);
if (parseFloat(dims[1])>0) app.preferences.savePrefAsFloat("Main Pref Section v2", "Pref_ANIMGRID_CELLS_VERT v2",dims[1]);
