If you can write your play without using the Parenthetical element as the Parenthetical element, you can make it work as the Action element.
- Go to Format > Elements Settings (Windows) or Format > Elements (Mac);
- Select Parenthetical from the list on the left;
- Click the Paragraph tab;
- Modify the left and right indents so they're consistent with the Action indents.
The second option is to create or modify a macro.
- Go to Document > Macros;
- Click NEW (on Mac, you will need to modify an existing macro). This will create a new Macro that you can title anything you want, in this case Paren2 or Action Parenth or something that you will recognize;
- Assign a Keyboard shortcut -- one that is not used by another function, like Control+Alt+S;
- In the Macro Text box, type in the text as you want it to appear in the script, in this case ();
- Click OK.
