How to create shortcuts in Linux system?

Environment system: majaro linux terminal: zsh

Manually create app.desktop create shortcut app.desktop to / usr/share/applications

Cd / usr/share/applications

Sudo vim app.desktop

Open the empty app.desktop file in Vim and press A for editing. Type in the text

[Desktop Entry] Type=Application

# shortcut type Version=0.9.4

# Software version Name=app

# Software name Icon=/usr2/ns-allinone-3.25/netanim-3.107/netanim-logo.png

# the icon displayed Exec=/usr2/ns-allinone-3.25/netanim-3.107/NetAnim

# the executable file Terminal=false in the installation package

# whether to enable the terminal after the above content has been edited successfully, enter: wq to save the changes

App.desktop does not have executable permission at this time, so you need to give it executable permission. Enter the following command

Sudo chmod + x app.desktop

Press Super to open all the software at this time, search app and you will see the shortcut.

Creating a soft connection is equivalent to a shortcut on Windows, assuming the app software executable file is in / opt/app/app. The command is as follows

Ln-s / opt/app/app ~ / desktop

The path to the first executable must be a global path. The first path is the source path of the program, and the second is where the shortcut needs to be created.

Removing the-s execution creates a hard link, similar to replication, but if either changes, the other will change.

I often use the first method in my view of the above two methods, but it seems that the second method is simpler. It feels like the second one doesn't work very well.

Because I'm not used to putting things on my desktop, I usually use the first one, and all the .desktop files in application can be added to Dock.

Quick start mode of terminal command

Sudo ln-s / opt/app/app / usr/local/bin

After the execution, the soft link of app has been created in / usr/local/bin. Type app in the terminal to start the app software.

If it is a frequently used software, you can also set common shortcuts in the keyboard shortcuts.

In this way, it will become very smooth in the process of use, and the effect of not leaving the keyboard with both hands has been achieved.
