I am trying to create a keybinding (like CTRL+Z) to a script file, but it never executes.
Steps:
System Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Custom -> Add
I have tried: 1.) full path, /home/me/myscript.sh, 2.) bash /home/me/myscript.sh 3.) copying the script to /usr/bin
Nothing seems to work. I have create other custom bindings to things like xkill and it works fine, just cannot get it to run a script file.
Any help is appreciated :-)
I found out that it was actually running the script but not showing the terminal. I validated this by launching chrome from inside the bash script -- so that was the issue.
Add '-c' to the bash command. This worked for me:
bash -c <full path to script>
E.g.,
bash -c /home/me/myscript.sh
