I used the method described here to run custom scripts using a keyboard shortcut in Nautilus, which consists of dropping the script in ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts and editing the file ~/.config/nautilus/scripts-accels to include the line <shortcut> <script_filename>.

It works, but only with standalone keys, even though the combination appears under scripts in the context menu when I use <Alt>+T as the shortcut. I tried changing the line to <Alt>T, <Alt>+t and many different variations with different modifiers and none worked.

I use Nautilus 3.36.3. Documentation was little help.

The correct notation is <Alt>t. Unfortunately, it is a hit and miss indeed. Apparently, not all Alt-cobinations are recognized. For me (on Ubuntu 21.10), <Alt>t also does not work. <Alt>q, <Alt>a doesn't, <Control><Alt>a however does. So for practical purposes, you will have to test and stick on a combination that works.

  • Thank you. Well that's unfortunate, I'll be sticking with F3 for now. I wonder if this is intended or a bug as I couldn't find mentions of either. If it's the latter I might file a bug report. – freshpasta Dec 07 '21 at 17:35
