Multiple commands in one custom keyboard shortcut

Question

How do I add multiple commands to one shortcut? Adding something like

xdotool getactivewindow windowmove 0 0 && xdotool getactivewindow windowsize 50% 50%

doesn't work, but either command in isolation works. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong.

You can create a script that does the same thing and assign it to the custom shortcut. For instance, ~/.local/bin/my_script:

#!/bin/sh
xdotool getactivewindow windowmove 0 0
xdotool getactivewindow windowsize 50% 50%
