Editor to share with you how to build Ubuntu shortcuts, I believe that most people do not know much about it, so share this article for your reference, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, let's go to know it!

System: Ubuntu 14.04

Sample software: eclipse (Matlab can modify the corresponding path by itself)

Generally speaking, there are shortcuts installed through apt-get in the search bar. Here we are talking about how to create shortcuts for downloaded packages.

1. First, create a shortcut file in the appropriate location of the system, with the following command line code:

Sudo gedit / usr/share/applications/eclipse.desktop

The contents of the document are as follows:

[Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8Name=eclipseComment=Eclipse IDEExec=/opt/eclipse/eclipseIcon=/opt/eclipse/icon.xpmTerminal=falseStartupNotify=trueType=ApplicationCategories=Application;Development

Exec represents the location of the application

Icon represents the location of the application icon

When Terminal is false, the command line window is not started, and for true, the command line window is started.

two。 You will see a shortcut to eclipse (corresponding to the file Name) in / usr/share/applications, as shown below:

1) if the icon does not display properly, please check whether the path of the Icon you filled in is correct, or if you do not remove the space after each line when you are in the copy file, otherwise the icon will not be displayed correctly, because if there is a space, it will be read as an ordinary character.

2) double-click cannot start the application properly. Please check whether the path entered in Exec is correct.

3. Then you can find eclipse in the search bar. If you want to put this shortcut on the desktop, right-click in the folder and copy it to the desktop (it seems impossible to copy to the desktop by using the cp command in terminal). An error will be reported, as shown below:
