# Plugins Shortcuts

> How to add plugins to toolbars, menus, and keyboard shortcuts in Asset Transformer Studio

Once a plugin is created and loaded in Asset Transformer Studio, it can be executed from the [Plugins](/asset-transformer-studio/2026.5.0/manual/user-interface/menu-bar/plugins-menu.md) menu, but it can also be executed from other locations in the interface.

## Toolbar

Plugins can be made available through buttons in a [custom toolbar](/asset-transformer-studio/2026.5.0/manual/user-interface/toolbars/custom-menu-toolbar.md).

Right-click in the [Main Toolbar](/asset-transformer-studio/2026.5.0/manual/user-interface/toolbars/main-toolbar.md) and select the plugin:

Buttons can be personalized using icons.

To do so, create an `icons` folder at the root of the plugin. Add your icon image (.png) and rename it with the entry function name (`my_custom_plugin.png`).

## Menus

A plugin's functions can be added in a dedicated menu or in any of the default menus available in the [Menu Bar](/asset-transformer-studio/2026.5.0/manual/user-interface/menu-bar.md).

## Keyboard shortcuts

Like any other function available in Asset Transformer Studio, it is possible to [add a keyboard shortcut](/asset-transformer-studio/2026.5.0/manual/user-interface/menu-bar/window-menu/workspace/keyboard-shortcuts.md) to a plugin's function.

> A plugin can be executed in scripting from the [Scripting Editor](/asset-transformer-studio/2026.5.0/manual/user-interface/window/scripting.md).
