Hi, Don't worry, I think this procedure isn't intuitive and natural. Anyway the situation is a little bit changed, I'm collaborating with maintainers to give to the users the possibility to set custom shortcuts to launch the scripts in the scripts folder of Nautilus. This is different from my original idea (a general shortcuts support) but I think this new feature is better (and the final result is "the same").

Hi Gregorio,Sorry, I unfortunately missed your message :(From a N-A point of view, the feature relies on Gnome global shortcuts and the DBus:- define your action (e.g. with Nautilus-Actions Configuration Tool)- define your global shortcut via the Gnome tool [1], setting the launcher as "na-run --id=<action_id>"Then, and as long as Nautilus is running and the plugins are loaded, the shortcut will run the "na-run" program, which asks through DBus To Nautilus for the current selection, and applies it to the specified action.I must admit that I have not tested this feature very thoroughly. So a bug is of course always possible.
