I've Nautilus-Actions but I don't know how to set shortcuts, can you tell me how I can do this?
Hi Gregorio,
Sorry, I unfortunately missed your message :(
From a N-A point of view, the feature relies on Gnome global shortcuts and the DBus:
- define your action (e.g. with Nautilus-Actions Configuration Tool)
- define your global shortcut via the Gnome tool [1], setting the launcher as "na-run --id=<action_id>"
Then, and as long as Nautilus is running and the plugins are loaded, the shortcut will run the "na-run" program, which asks through DBus To Nautilus for the current selection, and applies it to the specified action.
I must admit that I have not tested this feature very thoroughly. So a bug is of course always possible.
Regards
Pierre
