Problem setting shortcut for Tor Browser












1















I've installed Tor Browser and I can run it buy the command:



./start-tor-browser.desktop 


This command works as long as the Tor icon(the globe icon) is in : /home/user/tor-browser_de/ and I am also there in ~/tor-browser_de.



When I want to set the shortcut Super+T, I use the command ./start-tor-browser.desktop, but it does not work. I copied the Tor icon to /home/user, but the problem still persists. How can I fix this problem?

    Provide the full path to the file, i.e. /home/user/tor-browser_de/start-tor-browser.desktop. I'm not sure if running a .desktop file works in the context of a shortcut though. If not, open the file in a text editor and use the command specified in the Exec=... line.

The command needs the full path. I've tried it with a bash-script for now and ./Path/To/File/Script.sh does not work. But bash /Path/To/File/Script.sh does.



In: Running a .desktop file in the terminal i found it should be deskopen, so the command for your shortcut should be:



deskopen /home/user/tor-browser_de/start-tor-browser.desktop


I hope that helps!

I figured it out, thanks to the link attached by @Patient32Bit . There is an answer that says:




The answer should be



xdg-open program_name.desktop



But due to a bug this no longer works.




But the answer goes to 2010, and it seems that the bug is fixed. I set the shortcut by:



xdg-open start-tor-browser.desktop

    Most correct way is to edit .desktop file. Open it with text editor, and change path to tor to correct one. Then everything should work fine, including keyboard shortcut.



    As I remember in tor bundle is relative path, so you can unpack it and run. Fix it.
