Yes, I know it, but it doesn't support shortcuts. This application 
allows the user to insert custom entries in the right click context 
menu.
I'm talking about keyboard shortcuts.

Anyway this feature in my opinion should be inside the main code of nautilus.

Have you heard about Nautilus Actions?

https://github.com/GNOME/nautilus-actions
http://www.nautilus-actions.org 

It's a nautilus extension which I think does pretty much what you want. His 
maintainer Pierre Weiser has done a good job packing it with lot of features.

I changed my code. Now I added a full support to custom shortcuts using a 
configuration file (look at the pull request on github). Now "my" Nautilus 
accept a configuration file placed in ~/.config/nautilus/shortcuts with a 
syntax like this:

<control>k gnome-shell --working-directory="%d"
<shift><control>u gnome-shell -e 'echo test'
...

%d and %f will be replaced with the path of the current directory and with the 
name of selected files.

Nautilus should support shortcuts because it's an important piece of the 
operative system and it's useful to press some keys to run commands in the 
current folder with the selected files.

I'm not an expert but I've some knowledge about secure programming (to avoid 
buffer overflow, string format attack, etc.), so I tried to make the code 
secure, but it's always possible I did some mistakes.

Allow Nautilus to run external executable written in a configuration file could 
be dangerous, but if a malware can write into the configuration file to execute 
bad scripts this means the user is already infected and the malware can do 
everything, so this isn't the problem. To stay more secure I check the 
permissions. In other words Nautilus allow shortcuts only if a user with more 
priviledges made the configuration file. Basically Nautilus checks if he can 
read the file and if he can't write it. 

Let me know what do you think about,
Gregorio
