Public bug reported: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I have tried to run this python script from github:
https://gist.github.com/SergKolo/ff9defd9cef4e704a64be505f28fa3cd by defining a custom shortcut key and placing the command: python ~/my_pythons_scripts/append_clipboard.py in the command box. Nothing happens when I use the designated shortcut key. The same happens when I try to run a bash script by custom shortcut keys Both the python script and my own bash script run from terminal successfully. In fact none of the shell commands placed inside the command box of custom shortcut keys is executed Oddly enough there is no problem launching installed programs, such as skype or firefox. In other word if your command is, say, firefox then you are ok. But not when you want to run your own scripts. Initially I assumed I was not binding the keys properly and posted this question in Askubuntu: https://askubuntu.com/questions/824439/commands-and-the-custom-shortcut-keys unsurprisingly I have had no solutions offered. ** Affects: unity-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1623382 Title: custom shortcut key ignores commands Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
