Feature: Favourites / Shortcuts - A possibility to run specific shell commands

[sandreas]

Hello,

I would love to have a small menu bar at the top or bottom, where I can place custom clickable shell commands.

Examples:

• home - command cd "$HOME"
• monitoring - command btop / htop / top
• sysupgrade - command sudo apt update && sudo apt -y upgrade && sudo apt -y dist-upgrade

Configuration:

• Text (Here it would be great, if emojis were supported) - so you could have text but also icons or combinations
• Command
• Confirmation required (yes / no) - for rm commands or something risky

🏠 home | 🖥️ monitoring | 🔄 sysupgrade
____________________________________

$ cd "$HOME"


____________________________________
Alt + 1                    | + | ^ |
____________________________________

What do you think?

I think one way to implement this feature with minimal changes to the UI would be displaying a menu with the favorite commands when the new tab button is clicked. Would that fit your use-case?

This could be implemented through profiles https://github.com/ddterm/gnome-shell-extension-ddterm/issues/638 - like in GNOME Terminal
