How to add keyboard shortcuts to nemo?

Question

I want to add gloobus to nemo in linux mint. But native support is not available therefore I want to add a keyboard shortcut to nemo to open gloobus with selected element. I already found this where is described how to change shortcuts and I found this where is described how to add an action to the context-menu.

Does anybody know how to add KEYBOARD shortcuts to do the same?

Answer 1

for Nemo 2.2.4 under Linux Mint 17 I do this:

• Go to: /home/yourusername/.gnome2/accels --- NOTE: .gnome2 is a hidden folder!
• Open the "nemo" file with your text editor
• Add your shortcut: for example, when having 2 panes to move a folder or file from one pane to the other using "CTRL+j":

(gtk_accel_path "/DirViewActions/Move to next pane" "j")

Note: remove the ";" at the beginning of the line

• Restart the GTK system: sudo killall -u yourusername
• Open Nemo, to test my example: press "F3" choose different folders on each pane, select one folder or file from one pane and press "Ctrl+j", that folder or file should move from one pane to the other one.

There are a lot of different commands to customize in that file, be careful not to use a current shortcut!

Hope this helps!
