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.
