I have now found out that the shell commands placed in the command box of Custom Shortcut Key must be inside single quote marks AND preceded by bash -c
this rule also applies to running scripts, e.g. bash -c 'python ~/my_pythons_scripts/append_clipboard.py' bash -c 'bash ~/my_scripts_folder/script1.sh' None of this is explained in any documentations. It should at least be added as examples of how to assign custom shortcut keys to run commands and scripts -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1623382 Title: custom shortcut key ignores commands To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-control-center/+bug/1623382/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
